A container of gold and other items worth more than 20 million Canadian dollars (the equivalent of about 13.2 million Swiss francs) has been stolen by thieves at Toronto’s Toronto International Airport.
The container was stolen on Monday after being unloaded from a plane at a cargo facility, Peel police chief Stephen Duivesteyn said Thursday evening (local time), according to media reports. 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 removed from the aircraft and placed in the hold,” said Duivesteyn. The “Toronto Sun,” citing industry experts, reported 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. (sda/dpa)
