LONG BEACH — A tractor-trailer stolen in Northridge on Sunday with 45,000 pounds of frozen halibut was recovered empty Tuesday, police said.
“All the cargo was gone,” said Det. Marc Zavala of the Los Angeles Police Department. “The tractor and trailer appeared to be OK, but the fish was all taken.”
The halibut was estimated to be worth $138,000, Zavala said.
The truck had transported the fish from Seattle and was parked Sunday night in the gated grounds of a small trucking company, J.S. McDonald, before a scheduled delivery in downtown Los Angeles Monday morning, Zavala said.
The truck’s owners, West Hills residents, were relieved to recover their equipment.
