UPDATE Sunday 23 December: It has now emerged that had it not been for brilliant police work by the Sûreté du Québec, the world's Maple Syrup Reserve would have been seriously depleted. As it is, only two-thirds of the stolen commodity has been recovered. The Canadian dollar has slipped 1.5% in the week since the heist occured.
From the Globe and Mail
"Police have made a breakthrough in the headline-grabbing heist of millions of dollars’ worth of maple syrup from a warehouse in Quebec.
"Quebec provincial police said the three individuals are to appear in court in Trois-Rivières Tuesday in connection with the massive theft from a maple-syrup warehouse in St-Louis-de-Blandford.
"The Sûreté du Québec said they also seized vehicles suspected of having served to transport the stolen maple syrup as well as equipment. Some two-thirds of the lucrative condiment has been recovered, say police."
So there, you Americans.
