Londonderry News reports a woman from Jamaica Plain and an accomplice whose residence was listed as "Boston" were arrested around 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 25, after a member of the town constabulary spotted their van sitting at a local orchard:
The officer discovered one woman near the car and there was reportedly another subject in the orchard still picking apples. It appeared the pair were filling "a bunch of boxes" and had already reportedly loaded about three bushels of apples into the van.

Baffling at its core
Considering the cost of gas, you could call an orchard closer to Boston and buy several cases of apples. At this time of year, that isn't an expensive proposition.

Perhaps Haymarket?
They'd have the freshest apples there!
I doubt it!
I'm betting on Chinatown or Quincy!!!
they were probably just
