BANDITS have stolen almost two tons of gold worth a whopping £80million from an airport in one of the world's biggest-ever heists.
The gold, which was being held in a secure facility, was in the process of being moved through Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Police are now desperately searching for the masterminds behind the extraordinary heist.

Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn told reporters the spoils were snatched using "illegal means." We don’t know the context of the inspector’s words but this definitely one of those sentences that make you go “Duh”!

Perhaps it is the American English/Canadian English/divided by a common language thing?

“We believe it was the work of thieves.” Dang. I wish they weren't so hasty in jumping to conclusions.
I suggest we wait until all the facts are in.
