Thieves using at least a dozen large trucks stole an
estimated 400 tonnes of corn worth about $140,000 from a farmer in central
Quebec overnight Tuesday.
The corn was stored in silos on a farm about 130 kilometres
north of Montreal.
They broke through locked fences to get into the property at
St.-Leonard-d’Anton and disabled the alarm system which included video cameras.
This theft is even bigger than the 16,000 barrels of maple
syrup stolen this summer from a warehouse at St.-Louis-de-Blandford.
