Three youths fell into the clutches of the long arm of the law after overreaching in their quest for ripe mangoes.

The sticky-fingered trio, aged 17, 20 and 21, were caught by police as they snuck into a villager’s mango farm and helped themselves to armfuls of fruit.

Police confiscated the mangoes – which may have gone missing in police custody around lunch time – before sending the fruit filching fiends to court.
