The ongoing egg shortage in the United States has taken a bizarre turn after £31,700 ($40,000) worth of eggs were stolen from a trailer in Pennsylvania, just as major retailers including Costco, Trader Joe's, and Kroger began limiting customer purchases due to soaring prices.
The theft, which took place in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, involved the disappearance of approximately 100,000 eggs from a distribution trailer belonging to Pete & Gerry's Organics, according to reports from Pennsylvania State Police. The eggs were being transported for commercial sale when they vanished on Saturday night, prompting a criminal investigation.
