Hamilton police have issued a punny plea on social media in an effort to recover several thousand dollars worth of lettuce after police said it was taken from a property in the city’s east end.
“Lettuce know if you have any tips. Your information could be the tip of the iceberg and uncover a major theft ring,” a message posted on the service’s Twitter account said Tuesday.
In a press release entitled “Police asking the public to “Romaine Calm” after $45,000 lettuce theft,” investigators said a large commercial truck and refrigeration trailer containing the leafy greens was taken from a property on Covington Street, near Centennial Parkway North and Barton Street East, sometime between 8 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday.
