Police now say there have been 20 reported cases of needles or pins being found in strawberries in New South Wales alone
Australian police on Tuesday admitted they still don't know who has been putting sewing needles in supermarket strawberries, but warned perpetrators behind the nationwide scare face a decade in jail.
As the number of reported attacks ballooned and suspected copycat attacks were reported -- with one apple and one banana contaminated in the Sydney area -- police issued a warning about the seriousness of the crime.
It "is a serious offense which carries ten years jail," warned New South Wales Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, who described the fruit contamination as an act of "treachery."
Police now say there have been 20 reported cases of needles or pins being found in strawberries in New South Wales alone, a dramatic leap from the half dozen first reported countrywide.
"We still haven't any confirmed motivation or reasons why a person would want to do this," said Doherty. "We haven't any confirmed demands.
"Who puts needles and pins into strawberries, knowing that's going to go to families and young kids? There's some issues there, obviously."
The scare has prompted supermarket recalls and for some stores in New Zealand to temporarily ban the sale of Australian strawberries wholesale.
No significant injuries have been reported.
In the state of Queensland, where the scare is believed to have originated, the authorities have announced financial support for growers who have been forced to pulp their product.
Some producers have reportedly turned to the use of metal detectors to make sure produce is safe to eat.
Police recommend that Australians "cut up strawberries before use, and exercise caution."
The scare has put the focus on food safety and prompted questions about whether the industry's supply chains are watched rigorously enough.
"This latest attack could be viewed as a form of food terrorism" said Andy Lowe, a professor at the University of Adelaide.
It "highlights how vulnerable our food supply chains are to deliberate contamination and tampering," he added.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
