A year ago, gold bars and bills of various foreign currencies were stolen from one of the warehouses at the Toronto International Airport. The amount of the loot was 22.5 million Canadian dollars (about 16.3 million US dollars).

On Wednesday, Peel Regional Police (Ontario) announced the arrest of six people in connection with this robbery; three others are wanted and captured. The operation, dubbed Project 24K, was carried out in conjunction with the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Five of the arrests were made on Canadian soil and another in the neighboring country. One of those arrested is an Air Canada employee. Another of those who remain fugitives stopped working at the company a few months after the million-dollar hit. “This story is sensational and probably, we say this jokingly, belongs in a Netflix series," Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said at a press conference that it was a “carefully planned” robbery.
