Hundreds of pounds worth of strawberries have been stolen from a farm in Ulcombe.

Around 100kg of strawberries worth more than £300, were taken from Hill Farm in Lenham Road on Friday (June 30).

It is believed they were taken to sell on.

The thieves are believed to have accessed the farm by cutting a fence, allowing a car to get in and load the strawberries onto a vehicle before driving off.

It is not the first time the farm has been targeted and it is believed the same people are responsible for the latest incident.

Initially police said the fruit had been coated with a chemical to help growth which can cause poisoning to the stomach. Later they clarified there is no public health risk.
