Adelaide cops baffled by cucumber thefts

A spate of cucumber thefts has Adelaide police in a pickle.
More than $10,000 worth of cucumbers have been stolen in 11 separate robberies in the past three months.
Thieves have targeted market gardens north of Adelaide, with police saying the latest robbery – of 50 bags of cucumbers – was reported from a glasshouse at Virginia at the weekend.
“The issue with the cucumber is how do you and I tell who owns a different cucumber?,” SA Police Chief Inspector Kym Zander told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
“We’re having difficulty establishing where they (the cucumbers) are going.”
