"It used to be a suburban area with few people here to come. However, with the urbanization process, it became a city now with a lot of unemployed people who work NEET, He said . Some workers of the Institute were even beaten when they tried to stop the unemployed to steal fruit, Niu said.
Shu'e Liu, a worker at the Institute said the orchard wall was recently destroyed by a developer, making it easier for thieves to sneak into the orchard.
"The color of peaches is very bright, attracting passers-by to fly," he said Liu.
The institute will repair the destroyed wall of the orchard to prevent similar cases, said Niu Liang.
Chen Tao of Beijing Lawyers Association said the suspects are unlikely be charged with criminal offenses because they had no idea the actual value of fisheries stole.What suspects they wanted to steal is just common fisheries, not valuable scientific results, and Therefore, the volume of flight can be weighed only by the general value of fisheries, "said Chen.
In a similar case in 2003, four migrant workers were caught stealing 23.5 kg of grapes from an institute in Beijing that were grown in an experimental project and valued 11,220 yuan, according to a report by China Central Television.
