Authorities have announced that arrests have been made in connection with the theft of a cargo container containing gold and other valuables worth over 20 million Canadian dollars ($14.5 million) from Toronto's Pearson International Airport a year ago. Peel Regional Police and the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau will provide further details during a news conference scheduled for Wednesday.
The incident, which occurred last April, involved the theft of a 'high value' container from a holding area facility shortly after it was unloaded from a plane. The missing goods were reported to the police promptly, although specific details were not disclosed at the time.
