Canada's gold heist
On April 17, 2023, an air cargo container carrying more than 22 million Canadian dollars' worth of gold bars and foreign currency was stolen from a secure storage facility using fake paperwork.
The flight landed at Pearson International Airport from Switzerland's Zurich. There were 6,600 bars of .9999 per cent pure gold, weighing 400 kgs.
After landing, the cargo was offloaded from the plane and transported to another location on the airport property.
A day later, on April 18, the cargo was reported missing.
After a year-long investigation, police started searching two Indo-Canadians who worked in the warehouse from where the gold was allegedly stolen as part of a heist.
The Indo-Canadians were identified as Brampton's Parampal Sidhu and Simran Preet Panesar.
Sidhu was arrested in May last year, but Panesar, who worked as a manager at the facility, left Canada by then. Panesar also facilitated a tour of the space to the police station.
Moreover, police arrested a total of six persons for their alleged involvement in Canada's biggest heist.
