Canada's Largest Gold Heist: Nine Charged, Significant Gold Unrecovered

A year after the theft at Toronto's Pearson Airport, most of the stolen gold remains unaccounted for, with only a fraction recovered.

Nine individuals, including two former Air Canada employees, face charges related to the theft of 6,600 gold bars valued at over $20 million CAD.
The heist, described as the largest in Canadian history, involved insiders at Air Canada and resulted in minimal recovery of the stolen gold.
Authorities have recovered only $89,000 CAD worth of gold in the form of six bracelets, with most of the gold believed to have been melted down.
The stolen gold was allegedly used to purchase illegal firearms, leading to additional charges against the suspects.
Legal disputes continue as Brinks Co. has sued Air Canada, claiming negligence in the handling of the cargo.
