An Air Canada worker and several others have been charged or sought in connection with what cops are calling the biggest gold theft in Canadian history.
The Ocean’s 11-esque heist occurred at Toronto Pearson International Airport this past year, and saw a gang make off with 20 kilograms of gold bars worth some $20million.
Another $1.7million in foreign currency was also swiped, taken from a cargo plane that had just arrived from Zurich, Switzerland. Footage shows members of the nine-person group loading it all into a suspect’s truck, as cops on Wednesday revealed six have been arrested, and that a good deal of the goods have been repossessed.
Holding the press conference in front of the same truck exactly a year removed from the audacious incident, authorities painted it as an ‘inside job.’
They also revealed three of the men, including a former Air Canada employee, remain on the run, as they recounted how the theft actually occurred.
