Early tailgate supply run? Anyone seen @drifter379?
A fake trucking company stole 80,000 pounds of beef from a Bean Station, TN meatpacking plant on Thursday, March 27, worth $350,000.
NBC affiliate WBIR10 says officers were called to Southeastern Provisions on Helton Road to speak with the shipping manager of the company. He told police that two customers had not received their shipments.
The report says that when Southeastern Provisions contacted the shipping contractor, they found that the shipments had been subcontracted out to "List Trucking Sales".
WBIR10 reports that they received no response from the trucking company. "Ahmed Wengy", who was the dispatcher communicating with Southeastern Provisions, was no longer responding to emails.
The police report shows that the identification for the drivers of "List Trucking Sales" was not verified when 80,000 pounds of meat were loaded into the trucks. The information that the trucking company provided "appears to be false as their information cannot be verified."
WBIR10 says there were two separate loads picked up from Southeastern Provisions, with one going to Kentucky and the other going to Michigan.
There have yet to be any arrests.
