Millions stolen in Canada airport heist
A brazen airport heist at Toronto Airport has netted millions in stolen gold and other high value goods.
Canadian police are investigating the theft amounting to at least $20 million in gold from a ‘high value container’ that was being shipped through the airport.
The container somehow disappeared without detection.
“Our investigators have got their eyes opened to all avenues.”
We’re looking at all angles on how this item was stolen,” Regional Police Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said.
Local media reports more than 1,600kg of gold was in the container.
Police said there was no impact to normal airport and passenger operations.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority said the thieves accessed the cargo holding area via an adjacent company which has its entrance outside secure areas of the airport.
No arrests have been made yet.
