Austrian cops just naped a 39-year-old dude in Bergenland, South of Vienna, for allegedly spiking baby food jars with rat poison. Authorities think it was all part of an extortion plot, targeting the German company High PP. He's facing charges for creating public danger and trying to cause serious harm. This bus comes two weeks after they first spotted the poison and High PP jars at supermarkets across Austria. German police jumped in too, since the company's base there. Luckily, five tamper jars got pulled before anyone could eat them, in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. High PP issued a full recall in Austria to keep parents safe. One jar bought at a spa store in Eisenstadt tested positive for 15 micrograms of rat poison. Another from the same spot is suspected, but still missing. Investigators are piecing it together, but for now, families can breathe easier knowing the main suspect is off the streets. I'm Cory with the story. That's your Canada News Today Update, AI-powered and always on.
