Four-Million Pound Fruit Thief Busted in FLA

The Sunshine State’s agricultural enforcers are accusing Bradley Reiter of making off with about 4-million pounds of their citrus crop since the spring of 2014, on the pretext he was a licensed harvester.

Reiter’s fruit loot is valued at an estimated half-million dollars, police further claim -- all of which he handpicked from Florida orchards without a legal contract.

The enterprising suspect remains jailed in Polk County today on charges of fraud and theft in the illegal *harvesting* and wholesaling of almost 50,000 boxes of oranges and grapefruit he never paid a dime for.
