 FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Surveillance video captured three thieves slipping onto E.J. deJong's dairy farm under the cover of night, making their way past the cows in his milking parlor.
One, wearing a cowboy hat, used a bar to pry open the door to the farmer's office, where deJong stored thousands of drug-filled syringes used to boost milk production in his herd.
They made quick work carting out their haul. In just one night, deJong lost about $30,000 worth of the genetically engineered hormone rBST, or recombinant bovine somatotropin, in what police say was one of the most brazen, high-value heists to date. The three suspects still haven't been caught.
