Three people were arrested in 
connection with robbing three tons of Marina Baja avocados worth €12,000. Avocados are increasingly grown in Callosa, Altea and Polop, supplementing less profitable citrus fruits and seasonal loquats, and the Unio de Llauradors growers’ union expressed worries at the alarming increase in robberies from Marina Baja plantations.
