ANTRIM TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack.
Four days after the theft that law enforcement say could be tied to the sky-high cost of eggs, no leads have come in, Trooper First Class Megan Frazer, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Police, said Wednesday.
“We’re relying on leads from people from the community. So we’re hoping that somebody knows something, and they’ll call us and give us some tips,” she said.
Police are also following up with any possible witnesses and looking into surveillance footage that could help them identify the perpetrator as they race to solve the mystery.
“In my career, I’ve never heard of a hundred thousand eggs being stolen. This is definitely unique,” said Frazer, who has a dozen years on the job.
Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing U.S. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. And it appears there may be no relief in sight with Easter approaching.
The average price per dozen eggs nationwide hit $4.15 in December. That is not quite as high as the $4.82 record set two years ago, but the Agriculture Department predicts egg prices are going to soar another 20% this year.
The 100,000 eggs were snatched from the back of Pete & Gerry’s Organics’ distribution trailer on Saturday about 8:40 p.m. in Antrim Township, according to police.
They are worth about $40,000, which means this crime is a felony, Frazer said.
Pete & Gerry’s Organics LLC said in a statement that the company is working with law enforcement to investigate the theft.
“We take this matter seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible,” the statement said.

(Reported by Danielle Smith of Keystone News Service)
(Pittsburgh, PA) More than 60 counties in Pennsylvania have a shortage of public defenders for low-income residents who need these services. This Friday in Pittsburgh, a recruitment event takes place to help fill jobs for public defenders’ offices statewide. The University of Pittsburgh School of Law cohosts the statewide Career Day event with the Public Defender Association of Pennsylvania, to help connect law students from any law school with potential jobs. Megan Lovett with the University of Pittsburgh says so far, they have 50 or more applications, both for internships and attorney positions. She says she hopes that, like last year, counties across the state will see applicants from this event. Each year, public defenders’ offices handle cases that would normally require more than 12-hundred full-time attorneys – but only about 850 are working statewide.
