A total of 30 pans were reportedly stolen from a Pizza Hut.

According to local officials, the incident was first discovered when pizza store employees arrived for work to discover that all of the pans needed to make pizzas had disappeared.

Authorities discovered that the pans were being sold to a business that pays for used metal. Workers for the business informed the police that there was a person who took pans to them, and was in turn paid $17.28. Information such as the suspect's name and address were handed to the authorities.

"Anyone selling used metal has to provide an ID with name and address," said Capt. Tony Trudell, according to the UPI.

Eventually, authorities apprehended 34-year old Jody Wayne Guinn, who according to the New York Post was then charged with embezzlement and disposing of stolen property.

The pans were undamaged and were returned to the store.
