Lettuce solve this crime.

The Hamilton police are seeking the public's assistance to capture green-thumbed thieves after a commercial truck full of lettuce was stolen.

Police say a refrigeration trailer containing $45,000 worth of lettuce was parked at a property at 50 Covington St. in Hamilton.

Some time between 8 p.m. on March 31 and 4 p.m. on April 1, 2017, an unknown number of suspects stole the truck and trailer.

The suspects drove the truck to Toronto where they abandoned the vehicle but kept the trailer containing the lettuce.

The licence plate of the trailer is P9002D.

In a press release, police Constable Stephen Welton jokingly asked the public to “romaine calm.”

The crime is reminiscent of a recent berry heist from Stoney Creek in February.

In that instance, a refrigeration truck full of blueberries, worth approximately $100,000, was taken.

Anyone that has information about this most recent theft can call Sgt. Emilio Evangelista at 905-546-2991 or Det. George Gallant 905-546-3820 of the Hamilton Police B.E.A.R Unit.
