Valentine’s Day Thieves Get Thousands of Roses
From Times Wire Reports
Thousands of red roses were stolen from a refrigerated truck outside a flower shop on Valentine’s Day.
Jory’s Flowers owner Don Hotton arrived at his shop about 7 a.m. Friday to find the rolling door on the truck open and several tubs gone. Each was filled with 75 dozen long-stem roses. The lock of the door had been pried open.
Dozens of other mixed-flower bouquets had been plucked from their vases and tossed to the floor of the truck.
