Stolen shipment of protein powder worth more than $500K recovered from Bridgeview, Illinois, warehouse
A cargo theft investigation has led to another discovery, this time at a warehouse in Bridgeview, Illinois.
The Cook County Sheriff's Office said its Organized Retail Crime Unit was contacted by a supply chain earlier this month after a large shipment of Seeq protein powder was missing. Investigators later learned that the shipment was possibly in Illinois.
The unit recovered more than 25,000 pounds of stolen protein powder from the Bridgeview warehouse on Tuesday, Dec. 23. They said the stolen shipment was worth more than $500,000.
The office said they're gathering more information to build a strong theft case.
