Saturday, October 5, 2013

Grand theft: pumpkin. The Halloween favorites have a street value of $ 4,200, uncut.

It’s the Great Pumpkin heist, Charlie Brown.

A diabolical thief stole about 600 pumpkins from a Long Island farm, police said.

The poached pumpkins have an estimated street value of $ 4,200.

The gourd grab is believed to have taken place either last Sunday night or early Monday at the Rottkamp Farm in Calverton.

“Obviously, whoever took them is going to sell them,” said Detective Timothy Hubbard of the Riverhead Town Police.

“I can’t imagine anybody having another use for 600 pumpkins,” he said.

“That would be a lot of pie.”
