$22 Million Dollar Toronto Airport Gold Heist

 

It took precisely one year, but I can finally tell you exactly how they did the baffling $22-million Toronto airport gold heist, who is accused of pulling it off, what happened to the loot, and the three stupid mistakes that ruined a flawless score. Let me tell you about it.
The Mob Reporter here with new details and exclusive revelations on the biggest ever gold heist in Canada, a job that ranks sixth on the list of all-time biggest gold robberies, and was a daring, big-ticket score of a lifetime that seemed destined to be another unsolved mystery.
And it might well have been, if it weren’t for two — no, three — seemingly small but significant slips that doomed it all, leading to a wave of arrests in Canada for the stolen gold case and more in the United States for a related plot — international gun-running.

I’ve got both ends covered.
Let’s break how they did the gold job, the accused, the investigation, and the simple mistakes the bandits made that led police to arrests for the gold heist and for gun running in Canada and in the United States.
The five arrested in Canada are: Parmpal Sidhu, 54, of Brampton, an Air Canada employee. He is charged with theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; Amit Jalota, 40, from Oakville, charged with possession of property obtained by crime, theft over $5,000, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence; Ammad Chaudhary, 43, from Georgetown, charged with accessory after the fact; Ali Raza, a 37-year-old jewelry store owner from Toronto, charged with possession of property obtained by crime; and Prasath Paramalingam, 35, from Brampton, charged with accessory after the fact.
The alleged driver, Durante King-Mclean, 25, from Brampton, is wanted in Canada but in custody of the United States.
Police are also searching for three more men, considered fugitives:
– Simran Preet Panesar, 31, from Brampton, who was an Air Canada employee at the time of the theft but resigned after the heist. He is wanted for theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence;
– Archit Grover, 36, from Brampton, who is considered a fugitive in Canada and the United States. In Canada he is wanted for theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. In the U.S. he is accused of helping King-Mclean after his roadside arrest and hindering the investigation.
– Arsalan Chaudhary, 42, from Mississauga, wanted for theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime and conspiracy to commit and indictable offence.
Two people were arrested and charged in the United States: The alleged driver, Durante King-Mclean, and Jalisa Edwards, 25, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Paramalingam and Grover are wanted in the United States in the gun case.
