Police Seek Help To Find Person Stealing From Guilford Farm Stand

GUILFORD, CT - Many Guilford farm stands work on the so-called “honor system,” trusting customers to pay for what they take. Unfortunately not everybody is honorable, such as the person pictured, police said.

Police say they are investigating the theft of items stolen from an area food stand are asking for help in identifying the person in the photo above.

Here is what Guilford police are saying about the incident:

“One of the awesome things about living in Guilford is all the agriculture farms and farm stands.

“The majority of the farm stands are what you would call “honor system” when it comes to payment.... the farmers and staff are at their farms working and leave the products for purchase at the stand... people then leave the money in the secured box when they leave.

“Far too often, we receive reports of people taking items from these farm stands and failing to pay for those items. Make no mistake, this is stealing.

“Due to the fact this has become a significant problem for Guilford’s farming community, many have invested in cameras and now have evidence to provide when filing these reports.

“The pictured male in these photos is a person of interest in one such case at 3424 Durham Rd, from 6/12/19 at approximately 12 noon.

“The male was operating a black 1999-2003 Ford King Ranch or Harley Davidson Edition pickup. Please call Ofc. O’Connor at 203-453-8061 if you can information on the identity of this individual.
