Was Pearson gold heist an “inside job?” Questions swirl after $20M in "high-value" goods stolen

As Toronto-area police probe $20 million worth of stolen gold and other “high-value” items at Canada’s largest airport, experts say the heist has elements of an “inside job.”

Peel Regional Police, who investigate crime in the cities of Mississauga and Brampton, are probing how a container carrying gold and other pricey goods vanished from Toronto Pearson International Airport earlier this week.

The heist, which made international headlines Thursday, has the hallmarks of an inside job, said Stephen Schneider, a criminology professor at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.

“It certainly sounds like something that was planned, premeditated and obviously required some level of organization not simply to access the gold, but to be able to remove it from the airport,” he told Global News.
