Thieves steal 465 tonnes of corn from Quebec farm
Some thieves in central Quebec managed to get away with nearly $140,000 worth of corn.
According to Sgt. Claude Denis with the Quebec provincial police, a farmer noticed 465 tonnes of corn were missing from his farm in Saint-Léonard-d'Aston, about 130 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
The farmer estimates about 10 to 12 truckloads would have been required to carry the corn.
The thieves allegedly cut through a fence, cut the power source to the alarm and moved security cameras.
Corn prices are at an all-time high because of a drought in the U.S. last summer.
