(HURON COUNTY, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reaching out to the public to help crack open a case involving some active professional thieves that have a taste for some very high end liquor and wine.
On March 6, 2020 around 7:42 p.m. two males entered into the LCBO in Goderich and together they proceeded to shoplift four bottles of 42-year-old Whisky and two bottles of 16-year-old Scotch. In total the stolen bottles of liquor are valued at $1,530.
Investigators have since linked the two persons of interest from the Goderich LCBO incident to at least 20 other similar thefts throughout Ontario over the last two years.

They have been targeting high dollar value scotches, whiskies, champagne and vintage wines.
