Quebec police are on the lookout for thieves after a considerable amount of maple syrup disappeared from a warehouse stocking over $30 million worth of the sweet treat.
The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers says they discovered the missing syrup during a routine inventory where empty barrels were found at the site at St-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
Anchor Marco Werman speaks with the Federation’s Executive Director, Anne Marie Granger-Godbout.
“Every year there are some barrels stolen,” says Granger-Godbout, “unfortunately, this a reality in the sector.”
