Jackson police are working to crack a case of fowl play.

They're searching for a man who broke into an apartment about 11 p.m. Tuesday and stole a family's holiday turkey.

Police Lt. Christopher Simpson told the Jackson Citizen Patriot the suspect ran into the kitchen and stole the turkey out of the freezer.

He said the 6-foot, 300-pound bald man "fled with turkey in hand."

Police said a woman and two children were home at the time, and no one was injured.

The woman told authorities she knew the man.
