Cheese, Meat and Razor Blades

The Edmonton Journal reports that Vancouver thieves are targeting expensive gourmet cheese, forcing some grocers to put their cheese behind glass. The cheese is resold, often turning up in Vancouver’s “drug-and violence-plagued downtown eastside” bars. According to a police spokesperson, the most commonly shoplifted items in Vancouver are “cheese, meat and razor blades.” (HT: Eric Samuelson)[%comments]
