Meat Thief Is Mesa County’s Crime of the Week

A recent front porch theft has left a Grand Junction resident wondering "where's the beef?"

This week's Crime of the Week from Crime Stoppers of Mesa County is the theft of a box of meat from a Grand Junction residence. With a pretty decent surveillance photo, authorities are hoping to identify and locate the suspect.

The Crime

On May 19 a box of meat was stolen from the porch of a Grand Junction residence. According to Crime Stoppers, the box contained $150 worth of meat. Fortunately, we have a pretty good photo of the suspect and the suspect's vehicle. As the woman is lifting the box of meat, she looks right into the camera as if she is daring the homeowner to "catch me if you can."
