A shocking heist at Toronto’s Pearson International airport last year has left authorities in Canada scrambling to recover more than 6,500 gold bars worth over CA$20 million. The incident, which occurred in April 2023, is believed to be one of the most valuable gold thefts in history.
According to lead investigator Det. Sgt. Mike Mavity, the stolen gold bars have likely been smuggled overseas to markets such as Dubai or India, where the precious metal can be melted down and sold without scrutiny. Mavity suspects that the gold was quickly melted down by accomplices shortly after the theft took place.
