Four days after the theft that law enforcement say could be tied to the sky-high cost of eggs, no leads have come in.

About $40,000 worth of eggs were taken from a trailer belonging to Pete and Gerry’s Organics, police said. U.S. wholesale egg prices are at a record high.

In my career, I’ve never heard of a hundred thousand eggs being stolen, Pennsylvania State Trooper First Class Megan Frazer said.

The theft of the eggs, which the authorities said were worth $40,000, comes as grocery shoppers across the country are facing empty shelves and higher prices for eggs.

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.

Pennsylvania State Police were hunting on Wednesday for thieves who stole about 100,000 organic eggs from a wholesaler's warehouse over the weekend, a haul worth more than $40,000 retail amid a national shortage that has caused prices to surge.
