Items Stolen from Greenhouse

An unidentified man is suspected in a rash of thefts at Maeder’s Greenhouse on 23 Mile Road in Shelby Township.

Store owners said items such as flowers, soil and pots have been disappearing from the greenhouse in the past month.

The thefts were reported last Saturday during a police business check. An employee told police that a man had entered the building earlier in the day and had stolen a stool and a hanging plant.

Maeder’s Greenhouse employees said they believe the same man is responsible for the prior thefts.

Employees estimate that items worth about $120 have been stolen since mid-April.
