The police department in Waverley, a borough in southeast England, has an active Facebook page, where it encourages residents to take its Rural Crime Survey, and it details its current investigations. In the past few days, one officer had a "well-mannered conversation" with a 12-year-old about the current restrictions on electric scooters, another wrote that he enjoyed breaking in his new boots while on foot patrol (and he stopped to pet a puppy), and it's also investigating a rash of baked bean-related crimes in the village of Wonersh.

That's right: baked bean-related crimes. "Local officers have received reports of incidents in Wonersh where beans and other food has been poured onto residents' front doors and cars overnight," Surrey Police wrote. "The victims are understandably distressed by this unacceptable behavior." The Facebook post also included an image of four empty cans of beans — presumably discarded by the perpetrator — and a photo of some unfortunate local's bean-drenched driver's side door.

The Waverley Police say that officers will continue to patrol the area and will "[keep] an eye out for anything suspicious" (like, maybe, a shifty-looking person carrying a half-dozen cans of baked beans in the early morning hours.) They are also encouraging residents to share their stories if their homes or vehicles have recently been "beaned,"

They didn’t mention the brand.

Bean Labels Matter.

Well there’s a headline you don’t see every day.

When I was a kid we just egged houses and smashed mailboxes like normal juvenile delinquents.

There’s an old album cover by the Who with Roger Daltrey sitting in a tub of Heinz baked beans. Maybe it’s their national dish instead of boiled bread.

Was it Pork & Beans. I heard that smearing things with pork is a hate crime.

If this was in America, the police would ask Amazon who has suddenly been ordering multiple pallets of canned baked beans? A good investigation would know which recipe or brand the beans were from.

Whose been ordering 50lb bags of dried beans, when there is no restaurant paying taxes at that payee location?
Somebody is going to slip and break a collarbone on those beans! Beans can be weaponized.

“Bean Labels Matter”

How long have you had to hold that thought in your head, just waiting for the appropriate FR article to come along:?

I actually love British cuisine.

Especially a good English fry-up.

"I hope someone spills the beans on who it might be," one helpful resident wrote.

Who? It might be.
