The break-in was "a real blow", says L'Escargot Des Grands Crus, which was preparing deliveries for the holiday season.

    Something tells me the police investigating this will move at a snail’s pace.

      The cops cracked the case once they realized the culprit left behind a trail of evidence.

          The crime seemed unsolvable at first, but the trail gradually revealed the culprit.
