Asparagus stolen from Evesham
THIEVES have stolen £400 worth of asparagus from land in Pershore Road, Evesham, police have revealed.
Witnesses are now being sought to the theft, which took place between 11pm yesterday and 6am today.
Officers believe it is unlikely that the asparagus will be offered for sale locally because potential outlets with existing suppliers would naturally be suspicious about any offer from an un-known source.
"It is far more likely that the asparagus has been taken some distance away and is being sold by those who took it using their own outlet, possibly a stall," said a spokesman.
Anyone with information can contact officers on 08457 444 888, quoting 159S/130508. Information can also be given - anonymously - to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Won't be long before our fields and orchards will have to be manned by guards as food becomes more expensive and scarce. This is not scaremongering, it is an 'I told you so' to the Common Purpose traitors who have brought the British people to their knees.

I wouldn't have thought it possible to politicise the theft of a load of asparagus, but I was wrong! Police should be on the look-out for anyone melting large quantities of butter to go with it...

I am 100% in agreement with Carol!
This is the thin end of the wedge - wait until they have built houses on nearly all our farmland and food gets REALLY short!
Then the fun will start in earnest!
This is a sign of the times - it's probably gone to London and that Jamie Oliver!
