A load of eggs worth about $40,000 was stolen from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania over the weekend amid rising egg costs across the U.S.
Pennsylvania State Police said approximately 100,000 eggs were taken from the back of Pete & Gerry's Organics' distribution trailer Saturday around 8:40 p.m. in Greencastle. An investigation is ongoing and police did not provide further details.
In a statement to CBS News affiliate WHP-TV, Pete & Gerry's said it was aware of the theft and working with local law enforcement.
"We take this matter seriously and are committed to resolving it as quickly as possible. Due to the ongoing investigation we cannot comment any further on this matter," the company said.
Pete & Gerry's is part of the better-known egg distributor Nellie's Free Range.
