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.

"As per normal procedure, the aircraft was unloaded, and cargo was transported from the aircraft to a holding cargo facility."
Sounds like it was too ordinary. I am reminded of Bill Murray is Ground Hog Day picking up the bag of money.

It was probably done by the guys who stole the dimes.

Not a problem if it was done by or for a foreign government.

Not for gold. Just don't try to get rid of it all at once.
Melt it down and recast it.

almost 2 tons moved at once isnt an easy task. Doing anything with it isn't an easy task, either ... unless "you" are a State. Like ... Oh, I don't know ... China. Russia.

Hitlery has a thing about Gold, the Lybian gold disappeared so did the Haitian gold and her brothers got the mines there.

It could fit in gas cooking stove box on a pallet and be hidden in plain sight.
