There is a risk that you celebrate Christmas with a stolen Christmas tree. At least if you don’t carefully check where your Christmas tree comes from, according to Ulf Jacobsson, spruce grower.
– I hope the customers ask where the tree comes from, he says.
Ulf Jacobsson grows several different types of spruce and during December he sells them from his sales point in Malmö. But when he was about to open for the day on Friday, he saw that the lattice fence had been broken and that 50 king firs were gone.
– They weigh a total of 750 kg, so they must have had a trailer and driven them away, he says.
“Ask where the tree comes from”
The stolen fir trees have a value of 20,000 kroner and are probably sold on illegally. Something Ulf Jacobsson now urges people to be aware of.
– Ask where the tree comes from and pay by card, is Ulf Jacobsson’s advice.
The chances of finding the Christmas trees are very small.
– How to prove that it is my firs? I lost a lot of money on this.
