Overview

Farm Crime is a true crime documentary series exploring the largely unseen dark side of Canada’s agriculture industry. Each episode examines a case that wouldn’t typically make the front page. Instead of kidnappings, cold cases and serial killers, the series examines the fascinating, lesser-known incidents that unfold in the margins – the fields, farms and unassuming small towns that dot the Canadian countryside. Rare sheep gone missing. Potatoes sabotaged with sewing needles. A multi-million-dollar pigeon breeding Ponzi scheme. These are farm crimes, and they exact a real toll on rural victims who don’t always get their due. Farm Crime approaches these stories with respectful curiosity, focusing on the people at the centre of the incidents, seeking answers, closure and justice.

Overview

In February 2017, a group of thieves executed one of the biggest produce heists in Canadian history, stealing $100,000 worth of blueberries from a trucking yard in Hamilton. The yard’s owner/operator suffered not only an immediate hit to his bottom line, but was at risk of losing his insurance, and going out of business altogether. All this while facing the dwindling chances of recovering a perishable product that disappears quickly on the streets – a reality the police attempted to address with a new real-time strategy to track down the perpetrators.
