Dozens of beehives stolen from Cromwell property

Cromwell Police are appealing for the public's help following a beehive heist at a Mount Pisa property.


The burglary is understood to have occurred this week, sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning.



Police did not confirm how many hives were stolen, but a spokesperson said it was in the dozens, a volume that would have required a large vehicle, ute or trailer to remove.


People can report information to police by calling 105, or online via its 105 police non-emergency page and clicking 'Update Report' using the reference file number: 240305/2110.

Sergeant Regan Price said one person was taken to hospital.


Another alleged assault on the corner of Melmore Tce and Achil St was reported to police at about 2am on Sunday, March 3.


One person received medical attention by an ambulance crew at the scene.
