Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 Fraud Insurance Industry Property Risk Management

Authorities in Pennsylvania are investigating a large-scale egg theft after approximately 100,000 organic eggs were stolen from a distribution trailer at Pete and Gerry’s Organics in Greencastle. The theft, which occurred Saturday night, is estimated to be worth around $40,000. Pennsylvania State Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Local residents expressed concern about potential price impacts, noting that agricultural thefts, combined with tariffs and supply chain disruptions, could contribute to rising costs. Pete and Gerry’s Organics, a company known for its commitment to high farming and animal care standards, has stated that they are fully cooperating with law enforcement but cannot comment further due to the ongoing investigation.

With food supply chains already under pressure, the loss of such a significant quantity of organic eggs could have broader implications for local markets. Authorities are continuing their investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Pennsylvania State Police in Chambersburg.
