Theft of Livestock — Benjamin Lee of Huntingdon had reported that his three-day old calf had been stolen out of his pasture. A dark colored SUV parked at his cattle field and stole the calf.

The next day on April 29, Lee stated that he got a phone call around 1 a.m. from a blocked caller that his calf was returned to the pasture. Mr. Lee asked for the name of the caller since he had put a reward for the return of the calf and the young man on the phone said he didn’t want the reward or any trouble.
