Sobeys and Safeway stores in Calgary are boosting security measures after three more incidents of food tampering in our city.
This week, three Sobeys outlets in the deep south have been hit by a saboteur who pushed pins and other metal objects into buns and an avacado.
Last week, a woman was charged in one of several cases of food tampering at the Calgary Co-op in Oakridge.
Sobeys staff are already doing more searches of their stores, especially in departments with fresh food like produce and meat.
More security guards will be brought in to seven locations.
Mike Lupien tells 660News he also recommends that shoppers at all grocery stores check their food, just to be safe.
In the meantime, Sobeys is reviewing video surveillance footage to catch the culprits in the latest sabotage.
