California-based H&N Group said Tuesday a company container holding 31,200 pounds of vannamei white shrimp went missing from the company's dock in Vernon, California. The container was taken on Sunday.

"This is the firs time this has happened," Linda Purkiss, a spokeswoman for the company, told IntraFish.

The container included product from India packed by Falcon Marine from the company's regular distribution line, and is labeled under the Rose brand.

A reward of up to $5,000 (€4,483) is being offered for information that can lead to an arrest.
