I thought I would never hear anything like this — but then again I shouldn’t have been suprised. Two men were arrested Thursday morning who “face felony grand larceny charges in connection with the alleged theft of nearly $2,000 worth of baking flour from Horizon Milling at the Port of Albany.” Franklin Johnson and David Barna are the two suspects. I cannot believe this, what have people really come to. The best part is that the company believes there is up to “tens of thousands of dollars” of stolen flour. Yes — I said flour.
I understand this is a serious matter of grand larceny but seriously who steals flour and Detective James Miller said that “they may have been reselling it.” That’s great, I can picture two 40 year old men selling flour on the street corner. I didn’t know there was such a high demand for… flour. Do people get high on flour? Unless I’m missing the whole point of this article? Is ‘flour’ a code word for some type of drug?
The article then goes on to tell us about the editor of the trade magazine Milling & Baking news, Josh Sosland, tells us the prices of flour. I know this is a serious article but they really are assuming that these two guys were re-selling the flour. I cannot believe what people will do to make some money.
