Grand theft avocado: Men steal €270,000 worth of avocados

Three men have been arrested in California after nearly €270,000 worth of avocados were stolen.

Avocado prices have surged recently due to a diminished crop and an increase in popularity.

Police believe the men were stealing and selling the fruit to unsuspecting customers for months.
