$30 Million Worth of Maple Syrup Stolen

Thirty million dollars worth of maple syrup was stolen from a warehouse in St-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.

The facility is part of Canada's strategic reserve of the syrup, and had held 3.4 million liters of it.

An inventory check, by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, showed that the syrup was missing.

Officials are not saying exactly how much was taken, just what it was worth.

The warehouse, when full, contains about a quarter of the strategic reserve.

Maple syrup reserves are insured, so there will be no financial loss, but the news has caused some to stock up on extra quantities.
