The National Post reports in its Thursday edition that the ringleader of the spectacular Toronto Pearson Airport gold heist that made off with more than $22-million in gold and cash has been sentenced to four years for his daring snatch. The Post's Adrian Humphreys writes that Arsalan Chaudhary, a 43-year-old formerly of Mississauga, Ont., had already pleaded guilty for orchestrating the shockingly simple heist and was sentenced Wednesday in a Brampton, Ont., courtroom. It is a quirk of Canadian law that the sixth-largest gold theft in modern history and the largest ever in Canada brings a charge of theft over $5,000, to which Mr. Chaudhary pleaded guilty. In return, his other charges -- two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence -- were dropped. The shipping container filled with almost-pure gold bars weighing 400.19 kilograms was stolen from an Air Canada cargo facility shortly after arriving on an Air Canada flight from Zurich on April 17, 2023. A driver showed up, presented an Air Canada waybill for a shipment of seafood that had already been picked up the day before, and had an Air Canada employee whirl the high-value container onto his truck by forklift.
