Air Canada Sued Over $20M Gold And Cash Heist

USA – A U.S. based security company has sued Air Canada over gold bars and cash worth millions that were stolen from Toronto’s airport in April.

Brink’s International alleges the airline was “Reckless” and had failed to prevent the theft.

The goods, worth more than $20 million – that’s nearly 15 million U.S. dollars, had recently arrived on an Air Canada flight from Zurich to Toronto before they were stolen.

The heist is one of the largest in Canada’s history.

Among the items stolen were gold bars that weighed 400.19kg and $2 million in cash.

The April 14th theft garnered international headlines and remains unsolved by the police.
