Canada: Police charge nine suspects in historic $20 million airport gold heist

Source: CBS News

“One year after a brazen gold heist at the Toronto airport, nine suspects have been charged in an investigation police said ‘belongs in a Netflix series.’ In total, 6,600 gold bars weighing over 800 pounds, worth an estimated $20 million, and about $2.5 million in foreign currencies were stolen from Toronto Pearson International Airport in April 2023. At the time, police described the case as ‘very rare.’ Now they call it the largest gold heist in Canadian history. … Five suspects, including an Air Canada employee, were arrested then released with conditions and will appear in court at a later date. A warrant was issued for another man who was also an employee of the airline at the time of the theft. In addition to the warrant for the former employee, two more Canada-wide warrants were issued for those not yet apprehended.” (04/17/24)
