The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is warning the public that a large quantity of corn and broccoli has been stolen from fields in the Devonshire and Smith’s area and it is likely that the perpetrator(s) are looking to sell the stolen produce.
The public is advised not buy any local produce, especially fresh corn and broccoli, from individuals that are not regular vendors or who seem suspicious when trying to sell local produce. Quite often these individuals are looking for a quick sale at a low price and looking for a cash payment.
Anyone who has any knowledge of this incident or encounters suspicious individuals selling corn and broccoli is asked to contact the police on 295-0011.
