Police said nine people are facing charges in what authorities are calling the biggest gold theft in Canadian history from Toronto’s Pearson International airport a year ago.
Six people have been arrested in last year’s multimillion-dollar gold heist at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, police in Canada and the US said Wednesday.
Police have named Air Canada employees among the suspects in the theft of 6,600 gold bars from a cargo facility at the country’s busiest airport, in what’s been dubbed Canada’s largest-ever gold heist.
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."
Investigators revealed that two Air Canada employees facilitated the heist by helping to print an airwaybill that would legitimize the handover of the gold and cash.
Nine men -- including two Air Canada employees -- are facing charges for allegedly stealing $14.5 million in gold in a "sensational" heist worthy of a "Netflix series" at a Canadian airport.
