On Monday, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced that they had recovered a stolen truckload of Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads.
Kevin Acklin, the Penguins' President of Business Operations, announced that the Jaromir Jagr bobblehead will now be distributed during the team's upcoming home game on April 6.
The Penguins learned last week that a specialized team successfully negotiated the return of the stolen items to a secure warehouse in Ontario, California.
The Pens revealed a few weeks ago that the shipment containing the bobblehead was stolen before it arrived in California. Nevertheless, the truckload has arrived in Pittsburgh and will be transported to the PPG Paints Arena within the next week.
