30-Year-Old Anthony Joe has been arrested and charged in connection with the theft of coconuts and avocados from a Crosbies property.
According to reports, the Cassada Gardens Resident is said to have stolen three bunches of coconuts valued at $500 and a quantity of avocados worth $400 from the home of an elderly man between 28 and 29 August.
Police believe he gained access to the property through several holes in the perimeter fence.
Following an investigation, Joe was apprehended and charged, pending his appearance in court next week.
Authorities reminded the public that praedial larceny is a serious offence that harms farmers, property owners, and the nation’s agricultural sector, posing risks to food security.
Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their nearest police station.
I wonder of he had asked for it if he would have gotten it. Some of these fruits fall and get wasted and people are hungry
Whoever officer (s) are posting those information on social media, must make sure to verify charge (s) before posting them!
Wow, $900 worth of fruit… that’s not a small amount. Hope the courts send a strong message.
This is why we need more community vigilance. Everyone should report suspicious activity.
I used to wonder how some people don’t grow anything- don’t even have land-but always dey a market a sell something. Now I know.
Alot of Young people speaking peoples crops abd go abd sell. Good for you
Then Joe pops up on the side of the road selling $5 jelly racking up $2500 from stolen good
Looks like Anthony Joe went from a “fruitful” life to a “fruitless” one behind bars! I guess he really took the saying “You are what you eat” too literally!
Imagine risking your freedom for coconuts and avocados… times must be really hard.
