Huron County 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.

Some of the known LCBO locations that have been targeted by this team include: Fergus, Owen Sound, Collingwood, Kingston, Niagara, Parry Sound, Huntsville, Trenton, Ottawa, Guelph, Orangeville and Hawkesbury.
They have been targeting high dollar value scotches, whiskies, champagne and vintage wines.
