A Leeds greengrocer has grown sick and tired of street drinkers snatching his fruit and running away with it.
Scowling beneath the glare of the sun as it shone down on his fruit and vegetable stall in Harehills Lane, Ahmed Ali held up two bowls of his most prized products, the apples – which thieves keep running away with. Bananas are also victim to hands of peckish thieves, adds the father-of-three.
The 42-year-old, the eponymous owner of Ahmed Fruit and Veg, spoke of how “sad and broken down” it made him feel when it happens. Often they’ll jeer and swear at him once they’ve pinched the fruit, swaggering away across the lane.
