Toronto's Lester Pearson Airport was a complete shambles when I was unfortunate enough to use it last year.
So it comes as no surprise to hear that millions of dollars worth of gold and other-high value goods went missing at the airport - and no one has a clue how it happened.
Canadian police are investigating the theft of at least $20 million in gold from a container that was being shipped through the airport, Travel Mole reports.
The entire container apparently disappeared without anyone noticing.
“Our investigators have got their eyes opened to all avenues - we’re looking at all angles on how this item was stolen,” said Peel Regional Police Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn.
“What I can say is that the container had a high-value shipment. It did contain gold but was not exclusive to gold and contained other items of monetary value.”
Local media reported that more than 1,600kg of gold was in the container.
Police said there was no impact to normal airport and passenger operations.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority said the thieves accessed the cargo holding area via an adjacent company which has its entrance outside secure areas of the airport.
No arrests have been made yet.
