Last week, sheriff’s deputies in Cupertino recovered stolen meat worth over $1,000 in what the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is calling a “rare case.”

Deputies were called to a Safeway grocery store on Homestead Road after two suspects reportedly stole ribeye and other high-quality cuts of meat, valued at more than $1,000. An observant employee outside the store witnessed the theft, provided a description of the suspects, and noted the license plate number of their black Toyota Prius, the sheriff’s office shared on social media Sunday.

The deputies tracked down the suspects at the address of the registered car. Both were arrested and taken to Santa Clara County Main Jail, while the stolen meat was recovered. “A big shoutout to the alert Safeway worker. The only thing well-done here is the teamwork!” the sheriff’s office posted.
