Can Evie Caron Scammed Maple Syrup?
Evie Caron and his wife lived in the south of Quebec near a tiny town of about a thousand residents called San Luis Blonford. Evie's wife was part owner of a massive multi-purpose warehouse located in an industrial area. A new client had approached the warehouse looking to store about 16,000 barrels. As it turned out those barrels contained 3.4 million litres of maple syrup stacked six barrels high and hundreds of barrels deep. The only thing protecting the maple syrup was the padlocked gates and locked doors of the warehouse as well as a security guard who was supposed to stop by each day for a casual visual check. His lawyer states that he's pleading not guilty.
