Robins of the Alley Strike Grocery Stores

0:00A group calling themselves the Robbins of the Allies just claimed responsibility for a string of political thefts at grocery stores around Montreal and Quebec City last Thursday evening. Their anti-capitalist activist hitting spots on May 1st International Workers' Day to make a point about economic struggles. Montreal Police confirmed one break in at a Maxi store in the Rosemond area late that night. Mass folks showed up, sprayed graffiti on the front, painted over security cameras, grabbed some goods worth under $5,000 and bounced without any fights or injuries. The group says this is about folks working harder, but still scraping by on rent and food, blaming big landlords and bosses for exploiting labor. It's not their first rodeo. They pulled similar stunts back in December and February. Quebec City cops haven't reported any hits in their area yet, but Montreal's filing a full rapport with investigators digging into camera footage over. The next few days, no arrests so far. As these actions wrap up around labor holidays, it'll be interesting to see if more stores tighten security or if the Robbins keep testing the system.
