A young boy in Australia was arrested for putting needles in strawberries, which he said he did as a prank. New South Wales acting assistant commissioner Stuart Smith said that their policemen have recently arrested the boy, who was not identified. ADVERTISEMENT“Obviously in the last few days we found a young person has admitted to a prank, including putting needles in strawberries, and he’ll be dealt with under the youth cautioning system,” Smith said in the report. Several cases of needles found in fruits in Australia have been reported lately. Violators may face up to 15 years jail time as the act falls under the food contamination laws of Australia.
