Three arrests in $20M Quebec maple syrup heist
MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police say they've solved a massive maple syrup heist.
Police say they arrested three people and are looking for five others after 10,000 barrels of maple gold, valued at $20 million, were pilfered from a warehouse east of Montreal between August 2011 and this past July.
"Two-thirds of the stolen syrup has been found," police said in a statement.
Richard Vallieres, 34, Avik Caron, 39, and a third unnamed suspect were to appear in court in Trois-Rivieres, Que., on Tuesday.
They face charges of theft, conspiracy to commit theft, handling of stolen goods and fraud.
