The theft of 3,000 tonnes of Quebec syrup in 2012 made headlines around the world.
The heist was only discovered when a routine inventory check in July 2012 turned up an empty barrel that was supposed to be full of syrup. Officials with the federation quickly realized that dozens of its barrels contained not the sweet stuff, but water.On Saturday, Richard Vallières was found guilty of theft, fraud and trafficking stolen goods. During his trial in Quebec Superior Court, he said that he had filled the barrels with water.
According to evidence presented by the Crown, Vallières sold the stolen syrup to St-Pierre. The syrup was then re-branded and made to appear as if it was from New Brunswick, not Quebec.St-Pierre also admitted he had long been an opponent of the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, and resented their control of the market.Maple syrup worth up to $30M stolen in Quebec
St-Pierre was found guilty Saturday of fraud and trafficking stolen goods. Raymond Vallières was found guilty of possession of stolen goods and of fraud with the intention to traffic.

RosieBarton 'Yeah, well, your honour . . . I may have stolen $500 from the guy's store, but I only got to spend $35 bucks for a pair of boots. I don't think I should be punished for the amount the cops recovered . . . .'

What a sap 🤣
10 years to decide that? I know syrup moves slow, but that seems pretty excessive
RosieBarton Wait, it took them 10 years to come to that conclusion?
Canadians are polite, kind and generally a forgiving people-but don’t fuck with our maple syrup, beer or our prime minister. A’ho! 🪶🇨🇦🤣
That's a sticky situation 😳
The most Canadian crime ever?
