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

The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Pennsylvania has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack.

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.

Eggs are getting expensive, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Criminals hatched a plan to steal 100,000 eggs stolen from a truck in Pennsylvania.

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

The eggs were stolen from the back of Pete & Gerry’s Organics’ distribution trailer on Saturday in Pennsylvania.

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.

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.
