Maple Syrup: Police

Maple Syrup Dept: MONTREAL There have been arrests in the case of a massive maple syrup heist, police announced Tuesday as they celebrated a break in their months-long multi-jurisdictional search for the stolen sticky stuff, according to The Chronicle Herald. About 2.7 million kilos of maple syrup was reported missing after a routine inventory check last summer. Or, if your preferred unit of measurement is pancakes, the stolen amount would have provided a one-tablespoon topping for a whopping 183 million flapjacks and three people have been detained in connection with the theft of a large quantity of the national condiment from a warehouse in Quebec.
