(Haman=Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Jong-ho = Police have launched an investigation after a farmer reported a large-scale theft of Daebong persimmons that were hanging from trees in Haman, Gyeongnam, ahead of the harvest.
According to the Haman Police Station on the 21st, on the 16th, a 60-year-old person, A, who operates a persimmon farm in Gunbuk-myeon, Haman County, reported to the police that the Daebong persimmons, which were scheduled for harvest next month, had disappeared from the persimmon trees.
The stolen Daebong persimmons amount to approximately 300 boxes of 10 kg each, valued at around 9 million won.
A discovered on the 15th, after the Chuseok holiday, that the Daebong persimmons, which had not even ripened properly, had completely disappeared from 120 persimmon trees in his farm, which covers about 1,000 pyeong (approximately 3,305 square meters).
He suspects that professional agricultural crop thieves used a vehicle to steal the Daebong persimmons in large quantities, as there was almost no damage to the persimmon trees when they were picked.
A, who has been carefully cultivating the Daebong persimmons for a year, is reportedly devastated by the theft.
The police are tracking down the suspected thieves based on closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from around the farm.
