$15m Gold Stolen From Toronto International Airport
Robbers stole gold worth $15m from airport in Canada.
Police in Toronto, Canada, say they are investigating a robbery incident at the Toronto Pearson International Airport in which gold worth $15m was taken away by yet to be identified thieves.
The airport is often used for shipping gold mined in the Ontario region.
According to Canadian officials, the thieves took away more than C$20m, about $15m or £12m worth of gold and valuables, regarded as "high value" light aircraft container, from a cargo holding facility on Monday.
The heist is only bettered by the 2012 Great Canadian Maple Syrup operation in which 3,000 tonner of syrup, worth $18.7m, was taken away from a Quebec facility.
Stephen Duivesteyn, Peel Regional Police inspector, pointed out that the police team is investigating "all avenues", describing the incident as "isolated" and "rare"
