Where’s the beef? Brooks RCMP searching for stolen $230,000 shipment

BROOKS, AB – Officials are looking for a large shipment of beef that was recently stolen out of the JBS meatpacking plant in Brooks.

On August 30, police say a transport truck that was subcontracted to haul a full load of beef from JBS to the U.S. failed to make its delivery.

It was later determined that the truck was operating under fraudulent documents and under the fraudulent name of “Transport Pascal Charland” out of Chateauguay, Quebec.

The full load of beef, said to be worth $230,000, is still unaccounted for.

The vehicle is described as a burgundy coloured semi-truck with a large bunk. It was pulling a white refrigerated enclosed trailer.
