Police search warehouse for $30M worth of stolen maple syrup. The syrup was stolen last month from a Montreal warehouse that is owned by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers and is part of a global strategic reserve of maple syrup. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are now saying that their investigation has led them to a business in New Brunswick and a search warrant was executed there on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Because of the mild winter earlier this year, maple syrup production has been down and syrup prices have been up. These statistics scream for thieves to jump on them.
