The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist is one of the most bizarre crimes and most expensive heists in Canadian history. Between 2011 & 2012, Avik Caron, barrel roller Richard Vallières and their band of thieves managed to steal $18.7 million Canadian dollars worth of Quebec maple syrup from the The Canadian Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve warehouse located in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec, to sell on the syrup black market. This warehouse was leased by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, a government approved maple syrup cartel, responsible for managing the supply, marketing and sales of Quebec maple syrup. ★Support my work here - Buy me a Coffee → https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TrueCrimeCanada
