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.
But crafty crooks somehow managed to intercept the swag that weighed a hulking 1,630kg.
The airport is often relied on to transport gold that has been mined in Ontario to bling lovers around the world.
Police are now desperately searching for the masterminds behind the extraordinary heist.

I’d start by having the Mounties check every damn Dung Beetle Party office in the U.S. and move on to the trunks of their cars.

Benton Fraser RCMP and Ray Vecchio can handle the investigation.

"The airport is often relied on to transport gold"
This was either written by some guy in India, or an AI bot. Journalism is dead.

Look for a bunch of trucks driving through any nearby aqua duct construction. I’ve seen this before. The 21st president is Chester A Arthur.

If is surprising how little two tons of gold is worth. About $100 million, which is considered small money nowadays - a big company will buy your 25-employee startup for that.

Check all Dung Beetle Party offices on Capitol Hill. It has to be there in one of them. Also check FJB’s Corvette garage.
