Spectacular criminal case in Toronto: Thieves stole a container with gold and other items worth more than 20 million Canadian dollars (about 13.5 million euros) at Perason International Airport.
The container was stolen on Monday after being unloaded from a plane at a cargo facility, Peel Police Department Stephen Duivesteyn said Thursday evening (local time).
The container contained gold, “but not only gold, but also other things of financial value”. He did not want to speculate whether organized crime was behind the theft, says Duivesteyn. Arrests have not yet been made. There was also no information on the whereabouts of the gold.
The plane arrived early Monday evening. “As usual, the aircraft was unloaded and the cargo was moved from the aircraft to the hold,” said Duivesteyn. The Toronto Sun newspaper reported, citing industry insiders, that the thief or thieves must have had internal help.
The police also made no statements about the final destination of the cargo or the intended recipient of the cargo.
