Police are warning avocado growers of a "significant spike" in thefts from orchards as prices soar.

Four men targeted an Athenree orchard in the Bay of Plenty, but fled before police arrived. Police said they were expecting a spike in thefts from avocado orchards because of soaring avocado prices.

If anyone spots suspicious behaviour or vehicles hanging around orchards, they should call their police station. Orchardists should consider reinforcing shelter belts with fencing, sensor lights, and concealed trail cameras. Advise neighbours when you're absent to keep watch over the property.

If anyone is offered a significant amount of avocados from an unofficial source at a heavily discounted price, they should report it to police.
