On Saturday Feb. 8, an unidentified person stole 100,000 eggs from the back of Pete & Gerry’s Organics’ distribution trailer in Antrim Township, Pennsylvania.
Law enforcement believe this might be due to the fact that egg prices are on the rise, which are expected to rise by another 20% this year. Police continue their search but have to get any leads on who did it.
In an exclusive interview with “Good Morning America,” Tom Flocco said the egg firm, which contracts with over 300 farms across the country, is going to boost security measures after 8,000 cartons, worth $40,000, were stolen. Flocco also stated “the thieves might face one obstacle after this unusual heist: The eggs need to stay refrigerated as they are transported, since they can spoil at room temperature.”
Restaurants like the Waffle House have implemented a surcharge of 50 cents for egg items on their menu due to the shortage, the company announced on Monday.
