Ohio sheriff says 4 arrested in hog theft ring
February 08, 2012 11:25 AM

CELINA, Ohio
A sheriff in western Ohio near the Indiana state line says four family members have been operating a hog theft ring.



The Mercer County sheriff says the four have taken hogs from large farms in Ohio and transported them to Indiana, where they were trying to sell the animals.

The Lima News and The Daily Standard of Celina report two people face charges of breaking and entering while the others are charged with receiving stolen property.

Investigators say it's not easy for farmers to notice when a few hogs are missing out of several thousand.

One farmer near the Ohio town of Fort Recovery began keeping closer track of his animals over the last few months and realized 22 hogs were missing over a 10-week period.
