Thieves pull off massive heist at Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada stealing more than $20 million worth of gold (not $100M as reported on social media), police say

A total of $20 million worth of gold and other high value goods have been stolen after being offloaded from an aircraft at Toronto Pearson International Airport, police say.

Peel Regional Police said the theft occurred on Monday after a “high-value container” was stolen from a holding cargo facility after it was taken off a plane that landed at the airport. 

“An aircraft arrived here at the airport in the early evening. 

As per normal procedure, the aircraft was unloaded and cargo was transported from the aircraft to a holding cargo facility,”  Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said while announcing the theft.

Duivesteyn said after the cargo was secured in the holding facility, it was removed by “illegal means.”

The container was holding gold and other “high-value goods” worth $20 million.
