As of Monday, the three semi tractors had been recovered, but at least one trailer was still missing. No arrests had been made, and a large amount of beef was gone.

All three tractors were taken from 1515 E. Fourth St. One of those trucks was attached to a trailer.

The two other tractors were taken to Midwest Express, where they were connected to trailers and driven away.

Two of the tractors are owned by Francisco Erives. The other tractor is owned by Ariel Monteagudo Armenteros.
One of the tractors, a 2016 Volvo, was recovered in Lancaster County on Sunday. The attached trailer had contained more than $230,000 worth of beef from JBS. Most of that beef, if not all, had been removed, said Capt. Jim Duering of the Grand Island Police Department.

The two trailers taken from Midwest Express were also filled with beef.

Similar crimes have been committed in recent weeks in Omaha and in Colfax County, Duering said.

 
Easier than rustling the cattle beforehand.
True, but you have to have a specific customer to take the beef off of your hands. I am assuming this was processed, so it's all packaged, boxed, and bar coded.
