Three Arrests in Massive Canadian Maple Syrup Heist
Fire up the waffle iron and celebrate
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.
