Toronto, Ontario - Police have made arrests in connection with the brazen theft of gold and cash worth an estimated $20 million from a container at Toronto's Pearson International Airport one year ago.
On the anniversary of the case, authorities will provide details about the arrests and the progress of their investigation. The heist involved the theft of over 400 kilograms of gold bars and $2 million in cash, making it one of the largest such thefts in Canadian history.
The gold and money were stolen from a container that had arrived at the airport from Europe. The container was being held in a secure area of the airport when it was broken into.
