Investigators recover 12 tons of stolen coffee from Melrose Park, Illinois warehouse
Cook County Sheriff's investigators last week recovered 12 tons of a stolen substance with stimulant properties from a warehouse in Chicago's suburbs.
Was it cocaine? Methamphetamine? No siree. It was coffee. Good old-fashioned joe.
The Cook County Sheriff's Police Organized Retail Crime Unit reported that on Monday, Dec. 15, they learned that stolen Wawa convenience store products were being stored at a warehouse in Melrose Park, Illinois.
Sheriff's investigators entered the warehouse with the consent of the distribution company and said they found 24,000 tons of stolen coffee products, with an estimated value of over $100,000.
