Canadian police are investigating the theft of valuables worth approximately $15 million at Toronto Airport. The cargo, which disappeared from the warehouse on Monday, was reported by authorities on Thursday.
A cargo container with gold and other items worth more than C$20 million ($14.8 million) has been stolen from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, authorities said Thursday, cited by the AP.
Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said a “high value” container was stolen Monday evening from a facility on the airport grounds after being unloaded from an aircraft.
