Globe says ex-Air Canada employees suspects in heist

2024-04-18 07:31 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that police say they have solved the largest gold heist in Canadian history, arresting six people and seizing 65 guns headed for Canada in a multijurisdictional investigation into the theft at Toronto Pearson airport a year ago. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that warrants have been issued for three other people, including an Air Canada manager who resigned last summer. He is one of two suspects who worked for the airline, while another suspect owns a jewellery store, Peel Police Det. Sgt. Mike Mavity told reporters at a news conference in Brampton, Ont., on Wednesday. The nine are accused of taking part in the heist of $20-million in gold bars weighing 400 kilograms and $2.5-million in foreign currencies. They face charges in Canada that include theft, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and possession of property obtained by crime. One suspect faces charges in the United States of trafficking firearms police say were headed to Canada. "This isn't just about gold," said Nando Iannicca, chairman of the Peel Police Services Board. "This is about how gold becomes guns." Det. Sgt. Mavity said the suspects sold the gold to import firearms into Canada.
