[quote=CNN](CNN) -- Fire up the griddle! Much of a huge cache of maple syrup snatched from a Quebec storage facility has been recovered, police say.
Three people have been arrested and five others are being sought in connection with the theft from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec Provincial Police said in a statement Tuesday. The theft occurred between August 2011 and July 2012, police said.
Two-thirds of the syrup was recovered, according to a police statement. The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, which bills itself as keeper of the global strategic maple syrup reserve, said[B] in August that up to 10 million pounds of the sweet stuff was in the warehouse[/B] from which the theft occurred but could not say exactly how much was missing. [B]The total value of all the syrup in the warehouse was put at $30 million.[/B]
The theft was discovered during a routine inventory check of the warehouse, which "had been secured by a fence and locks, and visited regularly," federation president Serge Beaulieu said in a statement in August.
The barrels that originally contained the syrup were empty, meaning it was somehow transferred to other containers to complete the theft, the federation said.
Police said Tuesday that they had seized vehicles that were used to transport the stolen sticky stuff as well as carts, lifts, scales and kettles.
They said their investigation of the thefts covered the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario as well as the northern United States. Almost 300 people were interviewed as part of the investigation, police said.
[B]As much as 80% of the world's maple syrup comes from Quebec,[/B] the federation says.[/quote]
I'm sure glad they were discovered, Canada's economy can't run on hockey alone
Like we have anything better to have stolen than $30M of tree syrup. The shit flows through our veins. How do you think we survive our winters?

It's true, we Canadians have a massive and collective maple syrup fetish.
I'll beat whoever comes near my maple syrup reserve in my backyard.
It's something you don't fuck with in Canada.

I frickin' love maple syrup. As a Canadian, can you tell me what kinda stuff I can put it on to? :3
I have a full bottle, but not really a idea what to do with it other than pointlessly licking it from a spoon... :v
I live in Quebec and I haven't seen fucking maple syrup or tasted any for more than 8 months so stop generalizing you "roast beefs" :v:

I'm surprised it's that high.
I went to Montreal back in High School
I still have syrup contained in a small jar thing, from like, 6 years ago
I'm a Canadian and I honestly can't have my breakfast without some delicious waffles and maple syrup.
Whenever we're out of waffles I just spread maple syrup on bread and eat it.
I never used maple syrup in like 6 years... Probably because I don't eat waffles/pancakes and I don't go to restaurants. I'm from AB by the way.

What I don't understand is who would buy that much maple syrup? Like is there a blackmarket of maple syrup?
Maple Syrup 'heists' are the new silly crime of this year. I just hope a new movie is written over this organized robbery trend.

I once punched a Canadian.
He started leaking maple syrup, turned to me, straight faced and said the most horrifying words possible;
'Eh, I don't really give a fuck, yeah?'
