In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Toronto police have apprehended a man accused of pilfering a staggering $33,000 worth of alcoholic beverages from LCBO stores scattered throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Investigators revealed that the suspect, 30-year-old Luis Alberto Alonzo Ramon, cleverly strategized his thefts, casually selecting his drinks before making a hasty escape without paying.

The theft spree spanned several months, from January 27 to April 4, with the crafty criminal striking multiple times.

On Sunday, law enforcement finally caught up with Ramon, and he now faces a hefty 53 charges for theft under $5,000. He was scheduled to stand before a judge on Monday, but the community is left wondering: was this just the tip of the iceberg for the elusive booze bandit?
