NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- New York State Police are investigating the theft of $50,000 worth of walnuts in the Bronx.
The large shipment of shelled nuts was stolen from two 52-foot trailers in Hunts Point on March 2.
The walnuts were boxed and on pallets for commercial distribution, police said.
Investigators believe the thieves may try to sell the stolen walnuts to third-party vendors, wholesalers or distributors in the New York City area.
A pallet of walnuts can go for thousands of dollars.
Police are urging businesses, distributors, vendors, and the public to watch for anyone trying to sell large quantities of packaged walnuts, especially at unusually low prices.
Anyone with information about this theft or who has been approached to purchase walnuts believed to be associated with this incident is asked to contact the New York State Police Troop NYC at (212) 459-7800.
