23 Jun Three People Arrested After Reportedly Stealing $300,000 Worth of Avocados

In this modern age of technological advancement and increasingly sophisticated cyber crime, even buying clothes online can feel like something akin to staggering across a minefield.

Perhaps this is due to the many occasions on which we have been given stark reminders of just how fragile our cyber security can be, not least the several leaks of nude celebrity photographs that have caused uproar and scandal over the last few years.

How, one might muse, could we ever hope to make financial transactions safely online when it is so easy to be mistakenly directed to a less than benign website, how, furthermore, can we trust the emails we receive when almost identical versions sent with the intention of scamming confront us with almost the same regularity.

It would seem, though, that even in the midst of such complex and technical cyber crime, there is still space for rather more rudimentary acts of theft to occur, sometimes on an alarming scale.

This was certainly the case when three men; Joseph Valenzuela, Carlos Chavez and Rahim Leblanc, aged between 28 and 38, were arrested by California police on allegations that they had been profiting off the unauthorised sales of avocados.
