• Nearly $15 million in gold and other valuables was brazenly snatched from a “high value” shipping container at Canada’s busiest airport earlier this week, authorities said Thursday.
• The heist unfolded after the cargo was unloaded from a plane shortly after landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday night.
• “As per normal procedure, the aircraft was unloaded and cargo was transported from the aircraft to a holding cargo facility,” Peel Regional Police Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said.
• “The container contained a high value shipment. It did contain gold but it was not exclusive to gold. It contained other items of monetary value.”
