Pearson gold heist: Latest details on brazen multi-million dollar theft at Canada's largest airport

More details are emerging about the brazen theft of "high value" container containing $20 million CDN in gold and other items from Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

Authorities announced Thursday that $20 million worth of gold and other high-value goods had been stolen in a theft that has left police with a limited number of leads. The heist happened in a holding cargo facility at the airport.

Police have not named any suspects, and indicated they do not know who is responsible for the heist.

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) said in a statement that thieves accessed the public side of a warehouse leased to a third party and outside its primary security line.

Gold mined in Canada is frequently held at Pearson Airport before it is flown overseas. Almost half of Canada’s air cargo goes through the airport.
