when the punishments are the same for theft over $5k and theft of $20 million, you might wanna update your criminal code
that would just impact all the higher ups that embezzle money.
@@DigitalYojimbo lol so true
It was. In 1867 when we became the country of Canada.
Before that time they would have all been hung.
100% agree
Mind as well ante up. Is laughable people still going to jail over petty theft. 😂
I heard they took the gold and still couldn’t afford a house in Toronto.
Inaccurate. It was enough for half of a down payment :)
Probably a solid 100sqft room with a bucket for a toilet in Vancouver
😂😂😂
Crack is whacked
Crack 'n gold don't mix.
😁
😝
Imagine telling your boss that you accidentally put the pallet of gold bars into the fish truck.
Well, it wasn't an accident mate.
Why the pallet didn't have a tracker?
Uh ohh Spaghettios
Was the man driving the forklift one of the suspects? U have to be awfully stupid or hate ur job so much that u dont care to think that fish come in those metal containers
Buddy thought they were sand dollars
Who starts a serious meeting with. We think this should be in a Netflix series. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeff would like to ask if John Cena can play him.
Funny part is all Suspects are released on Bail. This is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
trudeau doesnt want to hurt there feelings
It’s Canada so not really.
it would be racist to hold them..
that Jamaican that shoved the Royal MInt's Gold up his rear end is out on bail, sentenced, and asked by the courts (nicely) to please return the money...........which has been in Jamaica for his new home for years now. Ain't gonna happen. And I wouldn't be surprised he gets hired......by Toronto Airport Security.
Then only investigators can flow them to find out the lead of the organized crime.
Air Canada waited 5 hours to contact police. Excellent headstart for the truck driver.
It had to be an inside job, so that Air Canada parties held off in reporting it, until the coast was clear.
@@wakanda6754 Jobs like these, is always 100% inside job. If not, no one would know what is inside those containers.
Oh ya insurance job no doubt
Agreed@@wakanda6754
Damage control the manager was probably trying to save face
So pretty much you're saying you have nothing to show for it, but a truck and a tiny fraction of the value of what was stolen .... great work
Hey numb nuts, its been melted and sold off to then make jewelry. You'll never be able to track it.
They wanted their 5 seconds of fame. “This should be a Netflix documentary” get your head out of your A****
Didn't they also say they arrested a whole bunch of people?
Well when you have a government that's taking in a million poor, uneducated criminals each year I'm surprised it's not worse.
them laughing at the beginning of this when not recovering even a fraction of what's lost says it all
Yeah, they're super proud of themselves for kinda getting the job half-way finished.
i cant believe their attitude when they recovered 500k of the 20 million and half the suspects are in mexico for the rest of there lives with more money than they can spend.
Yup, all they found where the 6 bracelets
They let these criminals out of bail? How the F did that happen?
It costs money to keep non-violent offenders in jail. If they kept them in jail you whine at how much money the government spends.
Innocent until proven guilty. They're currently suspects and not criminals. The real question is why aren't more people released pending trial.
Apparently, they had money.
@@ryuuguu01Silly comment.
@@graham2631that's not how it works in this country.
I was surprised there weren’t any tracking devices added on to the container for such an expensive cargo of gold from Switzerland to Canada.
Nah man, a tracking device? what for? All along the way from the gold mine to the airport they were all university educated people who know what their doing. University educated people don't like people telling them what to do. Don't give them easy ideas. They are paid to think and your not paid for your ideas.
There is tracking. It’s on the label. Just not how you think. It would show when it’s loaded onto the plane and removed..I get notifications from Air Canada for my own suitcase when it’s moving about
A simple Apple Airtag could have done the job
Good point
@@knightstar1312guy didn't get to go to university
“These licks” I think someone else needs to be investigated 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉 yessss! Licks turnttttt uup 🎉🎉
Thought I was only one who herd that 😂😂
Idk how he knew what a lick was lol but then I remembered he's a detective 😂😂
I was saying the same thing lol, are you from Canada? 🇨🇦
Thank you for the step by step how to, including necessary documentation and expected response times.
When Toronto Mayor is laughably describing car jackings and this dude comes out saying that this heist is something worthy of Netflix, it shows clearly that the authorities do not view crime seriously, it is very sad
I agree! It is so shameful those folks are in charge and get paid to be to make dumb*ss decisions.
And everyone was smiling when he was saying it.
It's sooooo funny!!! Netflix! Funny!
I'm sure they take violent crime seriously.
I thought I was the only one who found that statement insensitive.
400 kg of gold at todays value is not $20M. Try $41M. Add the cash this heist was over $43M. I don't understand why they always underestimate the value.
Wait…why are they lying about its worth? Is it at all possible that if you buy 400.19kg of gold they heavily discount it? I just don’t see how any institution would take +10million dollars off the sale price…however, I have never bought that much gold at once before hahahaha
@@SH-vj7uq - The price of gold is the price of gold. Yes, it varies somewhat depending on the market, but maybe by 5%, not 100%.
Skimming?
So how do we find out who is lying about its worth? The police, the entity that bought it or the seller?@@OMGWTFLOLSMH
Because ‘someone ‘is involved 😉
This news conference is straight out of Netflix.
Except no one can read or write a news release.
They call it 20 million.... But if 1 kg of gold is currently $105,000 dollars, then 400 kgs is actually 40+million
Maybe not pure
Released on conditions. Lets see how many show up for trial or flee the country
Im sure they all will Show up why flee and run for life when they can do 5 years and get out to freedom and millions. With the evidence they presented it's likely to get thrown out at trial and they walk. Man in US trying to save himself and some"braclets"SUPER WEAK CASE.
I have a feeling they will be watched and their passports have been flagged
The money and gold isn't just going to magically re appear. If they have it, it's being spent on something traceable hopefully.
Or flee to south asia.
They will be released and give probation as this was their first crime. They will also be honored with a dinner at prime minister’s home.
Nobody is serious in this country. Nobody. Not the Prime Minister, not the entire government, not the courts, not the airport workers, not the police. Nobody
Not me.
The only people that are serious are the people in this country that know what has been lost
This comment is not serious, because you are not serious as well because you are in this country 😂
Exactly … that’s why I filed my taxes as a joke and under claimed thousands
😂 Move to China then. They’re very serious over there!
No report of the rest of $20 million in gold bars missing? They only recovered a few gold bracelets? This is an utter failure of law enforcement.
Just goes to show how little Air Canada cares about your cargo.. doesn't matter if it's $20M worth, they won't tell you when it's coming in, they don't know where it is..
The joke started when you said that you released them lmao
Released “on conditions” 😂
Naw, naw, the joke started when they gave the truck driver $20-$40 million in gold when he provided a day old waybill for SEAFOOD...
Rhe joke started when trudeaus father started letting in garbage cultures a few decades ago.
And started the down fall of yet another great country qith his greed and hate for the avg man.
Overestimate drug busts , underestimate gold heists. To serve and protect.
No its always to "Use & Abuse" the law abiding citizens
Diversity is Canada's greatest strength
You just won the prize of the stupidest comment here. Bravo !
Unbelievable how big brain security clearance is at the airport that it can allow a truck to get in and pick up gold.
with a slip for SEAFOOD that was already stamped. Where'd they get their security?
This takes Russel Peters Joke "Indians Likes to work at airport" to a new level.
And if Im not wrong, RP is also from Brampton. 😂

Insider information was given and plans were made. The bread crumbs just need to follow the people that were in charge of the gold.
Yes but… I feel like if I stole 20+ million in gold: all those “breadcrumbs” would be dead.
@@derekmcaleer2386the cops found their debt list, so they weren't very good at erasing their bread crumbs
The introduction of a Bitcoin ETF marks a groundbreaking moment in the cryptocurrency world, merging digital currencies with traditional investment methods. This innovation could stabilize Bitcoin prices and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, potentially increasing demand and value. At the heart of this evolution is Sarah Jennie Davis, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)
How please I'm pretty new and feel I have much to learn, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it?
She is really a good investment advisor. I was privileged to attend some of her seminars. That is how I started my crypto investment

Soooo. Anyone can pull up to Air Canada and pick crap with a phoney invoice? Brilliant.
When are you arresting the government. They are currently stealing 50% of my earnings and calling it tax
Actually I want to know how I can join the government mafia. They are the only ones to steal our money without consequences

Great work by investigators!
At least 2 people standing at that podium, knew and were a part of this heist.
And your source is just your Spidey senses? Lmao
@@davidlee9870 lol no, just the law of probability 😂
And they've been released! They will be in jail for a short time, and get to keep a lot of money. It pays to be a criminal in Canada.
Crime Minister pays good
It costs money to keep non-violent offenders in jail. If they kept them in jail you whine at how much money the government spends.
@ryuuguu01 No one whines about how much it costs to keep criminals in jail but "progressive" liberals. The same people are letting criminals out all across Canada to reoffend. Again, do you live under a rock?
@ryuuguu01 are you familiar at all with the catch and release policy our police now have for the homeless? You're likely okay with that though because they already have it so bad, right?
@@jonk5669 Which part of the "catch and release policy" for the homeless is it that you have a problem with, exactly? The catch part or the release part?
The fact that a gold shipment goes to a normal cargo hanger is basically poor procedure. Most gold and large amounts of money should right away go to a facility operated by bricks or other security company.
it was actually located in a secure cargo section, though it wasn't mentioned here. Brinks did take their sweet time showing up so that point is valid
@@spicybeak69 I wouldn't call a place that you can get in with a invoice and wearing a safety vest as secure. Secure is the place where the US dispose of their old money. Where everyone is wear ID tags, and had background checks to get a job or be anywhere near the location. Where even getting into the shipping or cargo lot you need someone like a security guard to buzz you in. Where the security guard to double check pick up and drop off appointments with their own to match up. Someone that even with an invoice you need to hack into their database to get a legitmate copy.
Ya, amazing how they just left a skid full of gold and cash sitting in the warehouse. brilliant lmao
Two of the suspects are or were air Canada employees. I have no love for air Canada, but I don't think it makes sense to assume much of anything involving that shipment was done according to procedure
@@fearsomefawkes6724 Look I understand it was an inside job. But you would assume moving 20 million in gold and other currency would require a specialized airline with background checks with Bricks Trucks ready for the plane to drop off the shipment to a secure location.
Absolutely brilliant you guys. Crime can run but they can’t hide!
This is like the final mission in grand theft auto five.
I’m just tryna understand: dude showed up with a duplicate bill (for seafood?) and walked out with 20+ million in gold. Please (and I’m begging here) correct me if I’m wrong.
Uh, you've never heard of an inside job? Someone looked the other way, intentionally. Either that or the staff there is extremely incompetent.
😅 right
Yea only thing I could think of is that the insider somehow switched a label or something along those lines that made the pallet of gold seem to be the pallet of seafood. I’m sure it wasn’t as easy as swapping a label but then again maybe it was lol
I have a lot of questions that I'm sure can be answered with a "there were mistakes made" or "we did not think that would happen"
😂😂😂
Did you know the jobs at the Toronto Pearson airport requires a university degree. Preferentially a UofT BA.
In the end it was an inside job from Air Canada employees that facilitated the heist - it may come to bite the airline
Total inside job. There's no other way a crime like this can happen. Who would know what the cargo was and when it was arriving, other than the buyer, seller and shippers?
I called it. Was also right about the car theft
All have been fingerprinted and eye scanned since the early 2000nds. I know, I worked there,
Great for tracking you. Way down the road in any country.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH One was a manager.
Where can I apply?😂
“These licks” 😭😂 they def hit that lick
Based on the current gold price in Canada, 400 kg of gold would be worth approximately $42,183,288.88 CAD. This calculation is based on the average price of gold per kilogram in Canada, which is around 105,636.22 CAD per kilogram
Honestly, at this point it pays to be a criminal. Most of that money will never be recovered and they’ll will be out in a few months. Ready to spend that money
Exactly my thought
So maybe they will get 4-5 years jail time and when they come out, they have their share of 2-3mn waiting for them. This makes me feel sick, only way of being successful In Canada is to be a criminal.
maybe your measure of success is your problem
@@daveydudely9954 just like your measure is your problem.
Or become a politician, wait, isn't that the same thing?
Only when you are a certain demographic.
Nahh 2-3 years max or at home whith a bracelet 😂
Who was the crook who was importing 20 million in gold bars and a massive amount of currency into the United States in the first place?
Good work by the investigators 👍👍👍
What? Nah.. Terrible work and a joke of an investigation. They caught a lucky break and one guy got busted in the US, so they throw a press conference. Yet, 99% of the gold is still gone and nobody is currently in jail for it. In what world is that good work?
All Indians, all from Brampton, who would have guessed 😂
and the Black Guy is the falllllll guy....yeeeeehaw...right out of Good Fellas
Halifax, Nova Scotia is next. Some of those criminals are probably in Halifax
Gotta give them credit, at least they outsmarted law enforcement for a while.
@@Kajunboy-pc7ov bro was in jail already in America on an unrelated gun charge 😂not like bro was moving smart
Immigrant criminals... I'm shocked.
I guess there are some openings at Air Canada?
and maybe some houses too in the GTA area. But handguns are still going to be tight to get. At least for a while.
I don't think Penn. does this 'catch and release thing' like we do.
California does/Oregon/Washington State, they all do too.
The total lack of ANY kind of security around such a valuable container 👌
Kudos the the technician who pulled off this guest!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All suspects sure dont look canadian 🧐
I wonder what canadians look like.. white or indigenous? 🥱🥱
White or indigenous works

I bet the government is going to give them a new name and a prestigious job in the government because they are colored people and discriminated. Double bubble for them 💲💲. System is run by idiots.
You can't make this chite up if you tried you wonder why all these 3rd world criminals come here
This is like something out of a movie..crazy
The smiles in the mugshots say it all…they know they’ll be out….they know they’ll never find 100% of the gold….
Where crime pays crime stays!
Here in Peel for sure.
Ya those guys are pull the race card and get free housing and a new name change so they can get a prestigious government job instead of giving them social welfare money
Yeah. All the best stuff happens in Brampton-Slumtown. Thanks Doug!
Brampton... the Malibu of the GTA
Yes.... luxuryyyy
I think you mean, the latrine of the GTA.
How the fuck does that gold move without security?
COST TOO MUCH FOR THE GUARDS ! DAH !!!!!!
And these guys just happen to guess 20+ mil in gold was coming from Switzerland by plane,this gold was meant to disappear once it got here(someone in Switzerland).
Ssh that is going to be the cherry on the ice cream.
Holy shit they musta got an Indian in Switzerland too 😮 Indian Ocean 10
You can’t give it a name like “Project 24” when you’ve already been scammed 😂
What a showcase of the level of incompetence.
It’s difficult to understand how a shipment that was delivered under a specific Airwaybill the day prior would be delivered a second time using the same AWB. Normally these shipments are guarded and picked up airside. Surely there’s much more to this story.
Yup this story is a circus full of actors. It’s impossible to have a shipment like this come in without border security all over it.
I sense they got a heads up notice to reserve a cargo spot for the delivery at least a week before delivery. And this was not the only time such items were delivered. Practice makes perfect.
What? They bailed out all police officers and their hard work became wasted.. it's very painful
Relax bro clearly you’ve never delt with the legal system, the more days they spend out of jail is worse for them when comes sentencing and they get sent to jail lmao. They are just delaying the inevitable 😂 when I was in jail I said leave me in here, the more years I knock of the better 😂
When the cops actually solve a crime they want a TV show.
The best part is all suspects already released on bail love our justice system guess our jails and detention centers are too busy helping refugees.
they are released, busy hiding the gold, melting teh gold and selling it to all the gold stores and shipping it to Dubai. Justice system in Canada is a joke . these clowns will get 6months-1 year MAX
i bet you do a lot to improve the world, aren't just an armchair whiner
First off...in Canada it is spelled "centre" Second, this most recent budget is helping average Canadians
@@jamesbrennenman8671 found the libtard bot😅

From Brampton with Love
I worked for AC at YYC and one day I had to unload 6 gold bars from the hold and Securitas was not only on the gate before the plane arrived but one of the guys came over the belt and I had to wait until he gave me the ok. He stood at bottem and watched me as he put each bar into a dedicated cart.
did they ever caught criminals who originally stole it from Africa ?
Served 37 warrants. A month of video footage viewing. How many staff working for a calendar year? How much money did this investigation cost. 22 mil in gold, 2.5 in cash. You got back some bracelets and 430,000 dollars. Oh, and a truck. How much does 1 detective make a year? It must have been somebody important who’s gold that was.
“Project 24 karats” , now who thought of this very covert name ? 😅
I've been searching for this comment. Could have called it Project Garden because they're looking for Karats, or Project Mud, because mud isn't worth much. They might has well have called it Project 2023 Air Canada Gold Heist. I bet whoever named it felt so smug
I kept thinking this was an episode of Just For Laughs gags. Turns out I was right.
I was expecting some crazy oceans eleven/mission impossible style heist, I was clearly mistaken 😂
Lol. How are these millionaires not flight risks? Lol they are laughing at Canada. Immigration success store.
That's the point. The money and gold isn't just going to magically re appear. If they have it, it's being spent on something traceable hopefully.
So what do you do for a living? "I work in gold and firearms"..."oh...cool".
... ya but now I work in a prestigious government job making 6 figure pay. I pulled the race card for discrimination. That I can't get a job no more because of my color and reputation. They took me off social welfare and gave a pristine government job.
Even the cops are happy about this case 😂
You know it was within the employees of that airport cargo warehouse. They knew what was delivered called someone, sent or gave a paper to someone and said pull up at this location and the other person drove the forklift to that spot got the gold and put it in the truck they hugged it in the video. They need to take all employees phones and investigate. That’s my opinion.
Good work LEO’s!!
Why the fuck would you release them?
Because diversity is our strength 😆
Because the justice system has university degrees
To follow them
This reminded me of reading in front of the class in elementary school
While giving the reason that there actually sharing all this information. I thought at the very end of the first cop talking that he was going to say the reason he's sharing all the footage and inside information about the heist with the press is "Obviously because this is Canada and were just nice like that"
Is Dudley Do-Right still available to help out this investigation?
Canada is not a serious country.
It def a facade
released?!?!?! wtf is wrong with our justice system? Smh 🤦🏻♀️
I work at the toronto pearson airport, and I havent been told about this AT ALLLLLLL

@@Gaetano.94 I sure that there are others ,who knew what container, when it would arrive and first reports said container wasn't in the secure area.What was in the container someone I believe someone in Europe in Zurich arraigned the transport .Or I just watch too much reality crime shows.

@@frankeimer3906you too!
Costco started selling gold a few months later.
Just like 1 of the speaker was saying: crime rings utilize pawns to serve their interests. Arrested or warranted suspects already prepared for the eventual arrest, knowing Canada's crim. Justice sys. Is a joke. The masterminds behind the scene making these operations possible will never get caught with their clean hands.
If I was bold enough to steal it, you ain't NEVER FINDING ME
Catch and release 👏 👏 👏
If i stole 20 million id be fly on a private plane from a private airport to a country with no extradition. Mans were just chilling in the hood😂
That's exactly what they're hoping for. The money and gold isn't just going to magically re appear. If they have it, it's being spent on something traceable hopefully.
@@youtubeuploads8703 from what I read the gold was melted into jewelry not like their bricks anymore hard to find now . Personally I'd put it in crypto only.bitcoin tho
Gold has unique purity when produced and can be chemically identified.
The gold would need to be melted and mixed.
That is a lot of gold.
@@drclawm.a.d.2413 good idea
Dude there’s 9 guys directly involved in stealing and distributing (there’s prolly more) also selling that much gold would not get you $20Ms (you have to sell at a discount and find the right buyers).
There’s also legacy (on top of the cut each of the main guys who did the theft), legacy cost is for hush money.
Why was the legitimate transport not at the airport waiting when the valuables arrived by plane?
3:04 The description of the video says "April 17, 2024" but the person speaking at the news conference clearly says, "on April 18th, 2023".
Something isn't adding up...
Of course they’re released. Canada’s justice system is so weak that its integrity’s being tainted by these people everyday.
so was the gold found ?
What could possibly be greater than a Netflix series?
Great work by the Peel Regional Police.
They did nothing. The guy got arrested in the US and told them to get a deal... then Canada gave them bail... they got like 90k back. They even tried to say it is connected to guns LOL. This has nothing to do with guns... they bragged on TV. it was really embarrassing.
Wow - that is unimaginably weak security procedures. At 6:32 the thief shows up. And Brinks turns up 3 HOURS LATER looking for their $20m .
😆😆😆
No tracking device on such a thing is surprising.
Easy to happen when Air Canada employees know the routine. Inside job.
It's Air Canada, what do you expect? To be fair though, AC said they weren't informed of what the cargo was or its value or asked to place additional security on it, but still, someone is either incompetent or it was a complete inside job. Since some of the perps DID work for AC, it was obviously somewhat an inside job, but to what degree?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Really? What does the airway bill say the cargo was? It is a required field.
Prolly said : $20 million in cash for the taking! Lol
I swear I was waiting on " AND THIS IS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVEEEE"
Didn't someone take a moment to take note that a plain box truck came to pickup the gold.
Diversity is the strength of Canada.
If your not indigenous then shut up
AND our future ... whoops, too late.
And White people don’t commit any crimes and all White people have always been, and are Angels. Great ! 🤪
Keep on selling Citizenship cheap.
yeah got used to the much stereotyped Italian mob lol .. 1 guy reminded me of Pacino lol
Where was this video months ago ?????
that gold needs to be in my pocket. never-ending a Netflix movie
A cast of thousands at a press conference admitting that there is no gold found ...wow...
Much ado about nothing ….but they did have a press conference to show how weak and incompetent they were. All those people, wasting time to show they got nothing. Like administrators that do nothing but write lame emails and attend committee meetings. But hey, they got the truck back!
