Source: Real News Antigua: A Jennings farmer is the latest victim of praedial larceny, an offence that reportedly is on the increase in the southwest of the island.

Reports say the Jennings villager went to the Johnsons Point Police Station and reported that some unknown person had gone into his farm and stolen a portion of young dwarf coconut trees and a quantity of lemons and oranges from trees on his Christian Valley
allotment.

This offence reportedly occurred between 12 p.m. on March 7 and 8 a.m. on March 10.

Reports say the 61-year-old farmer secured his property with a wire fence on the dates in question, and, upon his return three days later, discovered that a quantity of his produce had been stolen.

Allegedly the intruder had used a sharp object to uproot eight of the coconut trees, valued at $60 each.

The perpetrator also entered the back of the property, where the orange and lemon trees are planted, and stole a quantity of the fruits.

Reports say the oranges are valued at $5 for two and the lemons at five for $5.

A search was carried out for the stolen items but without success. Inquiries into this incident are continuing.
