Salvation Army Exec Charged With Being Real-Life Grinch, Stealing $2 Million In Toys

A former executive director of the Salvation Army in Canada has turned himself in to authorities to face charges that he was allegedly behind the theft of $2 million worth of toys from the charity.

Toronto police say that the toys were given to the Salvation Army but that they were stolen over a two-year period with the intention of selling at a profit.

The missing toys were turned up by an internal Salvation Army audit. A whistle-blower reportedly alerted Army leadership to the thefts earlier this year and the exec was placed on paid leave in August pending investigation.
