MONTREAL – Police in Canada say three people have been arrested in connection with a massive maple syrup heist from a Quebec warehouse, which put a dent in the global supply.
Quebec produces up to 80 percent of the world's maple syrup.
Authorities never disclosed the exact amount of maple syrup stolen in August. But the warehouse contained Quebec's maple syrup reserves, which were supposed to hold 10 million pounds (4.54 million kilograms) valued at $30 million.
Those arrested are scheduled to face charges Tuesday of theft, conspiracy, fraud and trafficking in stolen goods.
Police also have seized vehicles suspected of being used in the illicit trafficking of the syrup.
These dasterdly criminals may also face further criminal charges of depriving pancakes.
