Vandals destroyed dozens of pumpkins from a West Jordan pumpkin patch over the weekend, forcing the farmers running the patch to close business days before Halloween.
Pumpkins were dumped and smashed into a field next to the patch, at about 3000 W. 7800 South, behind the Macey’s supermarket, FOX13 reported.
At least 100 pumpkins were destroyed, an amount “that could’ve filled up one of our trailers,” farmer Jasmin Rojas said. She estimated the patch lost over $2,000 in pumpkin sales, plus the cost of stolen wheelbarrows and broken field decorations.
