Two suspects have been arrested in what the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office described as a foiled meat heist that took place last week.
About $1,200 worth of ribeye, other prime beef cuts and more goods were stolen from the Safeway on Homestead Road in Cupertino, authorities said in a social media post.
Thanks to an alert Safeway employee who was able to describe the suspects and note down the license plate number of the getaway car, officers were able to track down the suspects at their home, recover the stolen goods and book both into the Santa Clara County main jail.
“The only thing well-done here is the teamwork,” the Sheriff’s Office said on its social media platforms.
Details on how the thieves were able to make off with such a large haul have not been released.
