LCBO thefts skyrocket, tripling over past five years, Jan. 12

Walking to my car from the LCBO at Kingston and McCowan Rds., I saw two young men walking towards the store. Then I realized they were casing it through the front windows. I assumed a robbery was in the offing. I followed them in, intending to record them. Unfortunately, I failed.

When I got into the store, I could hear bottles clashing and walked over to see the two men filling up a big bag with brandy. Then they left. They had so many bottles that both of them were needed to carry it.

By sitting on their hands and letting this kind of robbery keep occurring, the LCBO and Doug Ford’s provincial government are inviting chaos. There can be a terrible price paid for such a dereliction of their basic duty for security.
