Successful steak out: Over $1,000 in stolen meat recovered after Cupertino Safeway theft

Over $1,000 worth of stolen meat was recovered by sheriff’s deputies last week in Cupertino in what is being described as a “rare case” by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a Safeway grocery store on Homestead Road after a report that two suspects stole more than $1,000 worth of ribeye and other prime cuts of meat, the sheriff’s office said on social media Sunday.
