BURNABY — Mounties in Burnaby, B.C., have recovered pallets of beer, food and enough toilet paper and paper towels to supply a town in an investigation into the theft of shipping containers.

RCMP say in a news release that three containers that held merchandise worth about $125,000 were stolen last August from a business in the city.

They say the empty containers were found on a property in nearby Port Coquitlam a week later, but no arrests were made.

Then in November, police say another container was stolen from the same business with about $60,000 worth of goods.
