Canada’s Maple Syrup Heist Perpetrator to Pay Millions in Damages

From Oddee.com

Can you get any more Canadian?

Maple syrup trees

Here it is. The single most Canadian story we’ve ever heard.

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Richard Vallières must pay more than $7 million in damages for his part in one the biggest heists in Canadian history. Vallières is accused of being the ringleader behind a large-scale theft of maple syrup from Canada’s strategic maple syrup reserve.

Yes, Canada has a strategic maple syrup reserve. Because of course they do.

Their great caper of Vallières and his associates is today known as the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. In total, the gang pilfered more than 3,000 tons of gooey sugary goodness from the national stockpile.

Of course, they didn’t pour all of their haul on pancakes — though we have zero doubts that they did partake in some of the loot. Instead, they sold it forward, making a comfortable profit.

But if there’s anything Canada’s law enforcement officials won’t stand for, it’s maple syrup theft. As soon as the authorities became aware of the crime, the tracked Vallières down with a vengeance.

Let’s see how this all went down.
