There’s nothing sweet about this break-in.

Candy Kent, the owner of Candy’s Fruit Stand in downtown Whitehorse, told the Star Wednesday afternoon her business was broken into overnight Tuesday.

The culprit or culprits forced open a back door to the business, and apparently they knew exactly what they wanted.

Kent estimated approximately $6,000 in seafood was stolen.

“It was a mixture of everything,” she said. “Scallops, lobster tails, fish, you name it.”

Kent had also put an announcement on social media asking for residents to be on the lookout for anyone selling seafood at a discount on the street.

She said she has been broken into approximately six times over the 32 years she’s operated the business. The last time was about eight years ago, Kent recalled.

That time, the thieves were caught selling 150-pound bags of scallops for $30 just around the corner from the Fruit Stand, she said.

Kent said she wouldn’t be surprised to see something similar happen this time.

Other than the estimated value of the seafood, she didn’t have an idea of what the other damages would add up to.

She hadn’t yet reported the incident to the RCMP when she spoke to the Star, since she wanted to open the store and do some business, but she was planning on it.

“They’ll close me down for a few hours to investigate,” she said.

Kent said she still had some seafood left, and was expecting another delivery today.

“Still, $6,000 is lot of money for anyone to lose,” she said.
