‘Why steal them?’ Dozens of turkeys stolen from New Brunswick grocery store

The owner of a grocery store in Salisbury, N.B. said around 60 frozen turkeys were stolen from a trailer parked behind their store early Sunday morning.

It’s a crime fit for a Grinch, or Grinches.

The owner of a grocery store in Salisbury, N.B. said around 60 frozen turkeys were stolen from a trailer parked behind their store early Sunday morning.

Sandy Cantelo is the owner of Sandy’s, Salisbury’s Independent Grocery Store. She said each turkey costs about $35 to $40, which is a devastating loss.

Cantelo said the bolt lock on the trailer was cut off.

“They came prepared,” she said.

Cantelo said it’s disheartening to lose so many turkeys a week before Christmas.

“These days people steal every day and it’s a damn shame that they have to,” she said.
