Thief's search for a 'high' falls flat
A Hamilton thief who felt "a bit of a prick" after being caught stealing a cactus could have been looking for a natural high to kill the pain, experts on the plant say.
Police came across the prickly theft outside the The Switched on Gardener in Te Rapa on Sunday night when a neighbour rang them to say they had seen two men acting suspiciously.
Officers found two men cutting up a cactus into segments outside the premises, with one shaving the prickly spines off with a knife.
When questioned about what they were doing the man said he had "felt a bit of a prick" so was removing the spines to make the segments easier to carry.
The pair were arrested and charged with theft.
Garden centre owners spoken to by the Times were not aware of cactus thefts being carried out in the city, but were familiar with what the pair were trying to do.
One Hamilton garden centre staff member, who did not want to be named, said she had been approached in the past by people wanting to buy cactus and boil it up for a "high".
