Onion thefts at a Tring allotment site in Hertfordshire have continued, with reports of 100 additional bulbs stolen from eight different beds. The 153-plot allotment has experienced repeated incidents of vegetable theft, prompting some growers to increase night patrols in an effort to safeguard their produce.

Allotment holders have expressed concern over the ongoing problem, with one individual noting they are prepared to defend their crops if necessary. Despite the rising number of thefts, Tring council has decided against installing CCTV cameras. Officials cited concerns that surveillance equipment could become a target for thieves, potentially exacerbating the issue rather than deterring it.

The exact timing of the most recent theft has not been specified, but the continued losses highlight growing frustrations within the allotment community. Local growers have been taking proactive measures to protect their produce while discussions over effective preventative strategies remain ongoing.
