The pork thieves

With the meat prices of late, picking fat pockets and stealing glistening jewels has become old-fashioned – thieves are gunning for pork now! You read that right: three semi-trailers worth of pork product were stolen from a plant in Ottumwa, Iowa, on Thursday, totaling over $100,000 in stolen meat.

• The police responded to a call regarding the stolen vehicles at a meat packing plant, JBS, allegedly used in the theft of pork. The product was ready to be distributed.
• All trailers were eventually located, but all the pork had been removed and was missing.

Anyone who may be aware of suspicious activity regarding semi-trailers early Thursday morning is encouraged to reach out to the Ottumwa Police Department at 641-683-0661.
