Canadian police are investigating a gold heist at Toronto Pearson International Airport, according to local media.
It is unclear how much was stolen, but the Toronto Sun reported 3,600lb (1,630kg) of gold is missing.
That would amount to more than $100m (£80m) of the precious metal, according to the newspaper. It reported that investigators suspect organised crime.
Police are scheduled to hold a news conference at 18:30 EDT (22:30 GMT).

i'm so curious as to who this container belongs to... haha wouldn't it be funny how we all think this is like Ocean's 11 type level of heist when in reality it was just some homeless people looking for shelter who sees the gold and buries it. =P

Whoever it belongs to they DEFINITELY have enough insurance to make sure they're made whole. It's Pearson/AC who are going to be hearing from the insurer's attorney's to determine liability. If any negligence is proven on AC/Pearson's end then things will get much more interesting
