Zakopane | News | Phantom Egg Thief Arrested (original) (raw)

A crafty soul who seems to have swiped some 7000 chicken eggs has been arrested in south west Poland.

Since December last year, a 31-year-old man had apparently been ruthlessly raiding chicken farms across the region.

When the suspect was detained, the police confiscated some 2000 eggs, most of which have now been returned to their former owners.

The egg crook had reportedly been selling the eggs off at highly competitive prices, much to the ire of other salesmen.

The suspect could face up to five years in jail if convicted.
