Images were also published Saturday evening on the Facebook page of the legendary snack bar in the Charlesbourg sector, which is asking the population to help them find the criminal.
“We are devastated,” the message read. Help us find this individual by sharing in large numbers.”
According to the information provided, a large sum was stolen.
“A huge amount that would have helped many people in need in Quebec City in these difficult times,” lament the managers.
The publication has been shared more than 4,500 times, and there have been numerous comments from Internet users regarding this gesture, notably described as “disgusting”.
The harvest was made possible thanks to the generosity of customers, but also thanks to donations from employees during the company’s Christmas party last Thursday.
The Quebec City Police Department confirms that a complaint has officially been filed with the authorities and that the file will be submitted to investigators.
For the moment, no suspect is in the sights of the police.
