4-22 news: Stolen chicken travels from Arkansas to Kansas City
Simmons officials used a tracking device on the stolen trailer to locate it, and police found it and five other trailers that were believed to be stolen. One was reported stolen from an Oklahoma chicken processing plant, and another contained snack foods, according to the Kansas City Star. Most of the food had already been removed.
“There’s a lot of chicken out there,” said Sgt. Keith Ericsson, who is supervising the investigation. “There is a public safety concern because we don’t know how it is being transported or kept. It’s not being regulated.” He said he was concerned that the stolen food might end up in “mom and pop” grocery stores.
