Yimiews.com, Sept. 21, according to the Daily Telegraph reported that in response to the fruit needle incident, new state police are testing needles and fruit packaging on the DNA, trying to find out the culprit of the needle incident.
According to reports, there are more than 50 fruit needle (or metal) incidents in the new state alone. For example, at a recent elementary school in North Beach, a student found a needle in an apple during a break in class; for example, an 8-year-old Sydney boy admitted to inserting a needle in a watermelon.
Yesterday, the new state of government urgently passed a law against the Needle Hidden.
Needles in strawberries and apples
Police took the needle collection incident very seriously, but found that many of them were "mimicry" and "what they did," police officer Danny Doherty said.
Yesterday, at least two primary schools wrote to parents after two students discovered the fruit of the needle. Phillip Barrington, head of St Thomas More Catholic Parish Primary School, told parents that a little girl found a sewing needle in a strawberry in Fruit time. A sixth-grader in Oxford Falls Grammar School, found a needle in the apple and reported to her teacher that the school was on high alert.
Agricultural minister David Littleproud said the perpetrators of the Tibetan needle incident were "parasites," and they needed to be punished, or else they would not know what to do.

"the best thing we can do is go into the store and keep buying strawberries," he said. "it`s going to crack down on criminals."
On social media, the labels "smashastrawb" (crushed strawberries) and "cutthemupdontcutthemout" (shredded rather than thrown away) were frequently mentioned as a sign of support for fruit farmers, who had been forced to throw away fruit.

Woolworths announced yesterday that all sewing needles were removed from the shelves.
