Thieves in France have broken into a vineyard and stole an entire crop of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, say police.

They struck in Villeneuve-les-Beziers, taking advantage of a full moon and using a harvesting machine to seize 30 tonnes of the crop.

Farmer Roland Cavaille said the theft amounted to a year's work and about 15,000 euro (Rs 9.11 lakh).

One witness reported hearing engine noises in the early hours of the morning and police have been examining footprints left at the scene.
