Summary

Police in Pennsylvania are investigating the theft of 100,000 eggs, worth $40,000, stolen from a Pete & Gerry’s Organics distribution trailer.

The unusual crime, potentially linked to soaring egg prices due to bird flu, has left authorities with no leads. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and seeking community tips.

Egg prices have surged, with the USDA predicting a further 20% increase this year.

With Easter approaching, concerns over affordability grow.

      Ok but unless they are just giving them away, there is no way they are going to be able to eat all those eggs right? They are probably going to resell them for profit.
