Police Find Owner Of Pepsi Machine Abandoned In New Brunswick Potato Field

The Canadian Press, 28 Dec, 2017 10:39 AM

ST. LEONARD, N.B. — Police say they've found the owner of a Pepsi machine discovered in a New Brunswick potato field.

The vending machine was found abandoned in a field southwest of Grand Falls, N.B. on Sept. 29, but the RCMP were unable to track down its owner.

On Wednesday, police released a photo of an apparently intact machine, lying on its back, and asked for the public's help.

On Thursday, RCMP in Saint-Leonard, N.B., said the publicity gambit had worked.

They say the machine had been stolen from a business in Grand Falls earlier this year.

The RCMP say the file has now been turned over to local police.
