LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — York County Crime Stoppers says whoever helps solve a major meat mystery may be eligible for a cash reward.

A refrigerated Great Dane trailer was stolen on Saturday, according to the York Police Department.

Police say the thieves transferred the 37,000 pounds of meat it was carrying into another trailer at the Waco exit off of I-80 before disappearing.

This happened around the same time that more than $750,000 worth of meat was stolen from three trailers in Grand Island.

Those thefts happened between Friday and Sunday.

The trailers taken from Grand Island are still nowhere to be found, but York Police say the trailer in their case has since been recovered.

This crime spree comes just a few months after nearly $400,000 worth of beef was stolen across our area.

So far, there are no reports of any arrests in these cases.
