Several tens of kilos of strawberries stolen from a producer in Vaucluse

For several years, some producers located in Caderousse (Vaucluse) have been victims of theft on their farms.

If usually it is melons that are stolen, this year, a farmer noticed the absence of several trays containing strawberries, reports

.

The theft dates back to the Easter weekend.

In total, between 60 and 70 kilos of strawberries were stolen, probably to be resold.

"These were guys who had to have a headlamp and who had to know how to pick up strawberries", noted to our colleagues the producer, who is delighted that the plants have not been uprooted.

A meeting with the town hall

A week after these thefts, the town hall organized a meeting to find solutions to put an end to this situation.

The police should reinforce their patrol in the areas concerned.
