New charges in Pearson airport gold heist case

Peel Region police charged Arsalan Chaudhary, 43, after he entered Canada from Dubai and surrendered in Toronto in connection with the 2023 Pearson airport gold heist, described as the largest in Canadian history. Chaudhary faces theft over $5,000, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and was held for a bail hearing. Police say two groups were involved—Air Canada employees and outsiders—and Chaudhary helped plan the theft and move the 400 kilograms of gold (worth more than $20 million) out of Canada; seven other suspects have been arrested previously and warrants remain for others.
