Thieves Snatch $500K Worth of Pet Supplies in Bold Midwest Heist

It makes sense for someone to want to steal dog food, but in this case in Illinois, the thieves got enough to open their own pet store.

A lot of stolen dog food was taken in Illinois.

I’ve always had a pet. I don’t remember a long time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. That means fish, dogs, cats, and a lot of other animals. Having a pet is great, but taking care of them costs a lot of money. Food, treats, tools, vet bills, and other costs add up.

Pet owners who are having a hard time paying for their animals’ care have to make tough choices. It’s sad to hear that some people will give their furry friends to a charity. One way is to steal what they need and break the law.

A lot of dog food and treats were stolen not long ago in Illinois. Two semi-trailers were taken from a Gurnee store that was going out of business. Lots of things for pets worth over $600,000 were stolen from the two trucks. They can open their own store with that much money.

According to WGN

Over $600,000 of stolen dog food and treats were found at a Gurnee liquidation store, according to police.

Joliet police responded on June 30 to a facility in the 4100 block of Rock Creek Boulevard on the report of two stolen semi-trailers.

Police learned both trailers were loaded with approximately $615,000 worth of dog food and treats.

Luckily, the local police were able to track down the stolen merchandise. Plus, they also recovered over $135,000 of other stolen goods. Congrats to the police for a job well done.
