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.
😁
😝
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
@@RuneSwaggaI could spend 20 mil in a week if I had it?
@@RuneSwaggaNah if there was 9 of them then each got a little over 2 Mil, that could easily be spent in a year or two.
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.
because there already is a netflix series somewhat similar to this lol money heist or la casa de papel
Also how could you forget lupin
Yea he’s not serious
I mean seriously, just say movie ??
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
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
Thank you for the step by step how to, including necessary documentation and expected response times.
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
@@JesusIsLord7773pure 99% they said it
@@JesusIsLord7773 the guy reporting said it’s 99.99% pure, I think that the US dollar has more value than the Canadian dollar
@@JesusIsLord7773the video stated that they were 99.99% gold bars.
Its worth less if its stolen because black market price is lower or the gold has to be altered so that it can be sold. I guess the serial numbers are known so no legitimate trader will buy these.
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.
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?
Yes apparently the Netflix series would be about 2 minutes in total length and would consist of the suspect collecting the gold in a truck with a fake paper and then driving off. The end.
"Resulted in a successful investigation" cracked me the fuck up after hearing what they recovered
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.
Maybe it's not easy...
Everything got sold off bro in black market and the money spent
@@Abiish372or they hid it. Maybe they’re innocent and dropped it off at a dock but I doubt it 😂
@@on19s they ain't innocent bro
Yes because in every theft, in every case across the world, everything always gets recovered.
Should update the laws, how can 5k in thefts and 20 million be treated the same
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.
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.
“These licks” 😭😂 they def hit that lick
wrd 😭😭
Ong 😂😂
probably spent $30,000,000 just trying to find this guy 😂
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 😉
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!
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?
Did you not listen the multiple were air canada employees
“These licks” I think someone else needs to be investigated 😂😂😂
My comment has more likes than I ever got on my channel thanks y’all! 💀😂
😂😂😂😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉 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? 🇨🇦
Overestimate drug busts , underestimate gold heists. To serve and protect.
No its always to "Use & Abuse" the law abiding citizens
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.
Soooo. Anyone can pull up to Air Canada and pick crap with a phoney invoice? Brilliant.
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 😂
9/10 times the government are involved in some shape or form
@@NetHazard"The law of probability" makes absolutely no sense in this context. 😂
@@Oblivisci........Stop nit picking. Point is, $20+ million in gold, people are going to get paid off, almost guaranteed.
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...
Great work !!
What a showcase of the level of incompetence.
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
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
and spending it on stupid shit
@@youtubeuploads8703 come on all those hard working politicians have to endure 8 whole years of employment to get 200K pensions, those poor workers. lol
@@slimspady5421employment? Those clowns haven't worked a day in their lives 😂
@@slimspady5421 200k is nothing compared to the blank checks they write themselves and the companies their friends and families own.
I can’t believe all these native Canadians would do such a thing.
"We believe these Liqs" 😂😂😂 Nah you said it right the first time my boy hahahahah
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
This news conference is straight out of Netflix.
Except no one can read or write a news release.
Memo to the Canadian Government: This is the result of your delusional immigration policies.
This is like something out of a movie..crazy
Wow they even loaded it into his truck for him. First class service!
😂😂😂
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. 😂
If Im not wrong, RP is also from Brampton. 😂😂
still joke"Sri Lanka Likes to work at airport" no indians is involved in this crime all asian are not from china
😮🇬🇧2🙈.
They look Middle Eastern
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?
The total lack of ANY kind of security around such a valuable container 👌
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?
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
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
Great work by investigators!
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?😂
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.
@@CheekyBird790 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.
What the hell is a a specialized airline! @@MeGawOOt99
Diversity is Canada's greatest strength
You just won the prize of the stupidest comment here. Bravo !
You can say that again. Oh Canada 🙄
Lol when he said "a lick" instead of "a list"
😆🤣
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.
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 😂
How the fuck does that gold move without security?
COST TOO MUCH FOR THE GUARDS ! DAH !!!!!!
Man pulled off a real life GTA heist, wasted the time of law enforcement, kept all the money away from the cops, and got the same punishment as a $5k thief.
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!
Steal 20m and get released on conditions 🤣canadas a joke
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
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...
This is like the final mission in grand theft auto five.
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.
You know the authorities are all involved in this heist.
now with small kids, its great to watch this for 10 mins instead of 10 episode limited series
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.
All suspects sure dont look canadian 🧐
I wonder what canadians look like.. white or indigenous? 🥱🥱
White or indigenous works
People of colour are actually and look Canadians
I’m sure majority people in Canada sure don’t look native 🧐
@@NewErrors Canada didn't exist until Europeans built it, so explain why a typical Canadian should look indigenous...
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?
Why was the legitimate transport not at the airport waiting when the valuables arrived by plane?
This reminded me of reading in front of the class in elementary school
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
Big surprised at their backgrounds
Is Dudley Do-Right still available to help out this investigation?
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 😂
From Brampton with Love
I kept thinking this was an episode of Just For Laughs gags. Turns out I was right.
Why the fuck would you release them?
Because diversity is our strength 😆
Because the justice system has university degrees
To follow them
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.
We all know Linus was about to make a 24k gold PC
Absolutely brilliant you guys. Crime can run but they can’t hide!
“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
How hard was the theory test mate? I’m going to Phang Nga to get it I think. Seems so confusing to get one with all the certificates and coming back and making sure you book on a date for English etc aha
Brampton... the Malibu of the GTA
Yes.... luxuryyyy
I think you mean, the latrine of the GTA.
released?!?!?! wtf is wrong with our justice system? Smh 🤦🏻♀️
Released on bail? Are you fučking kidding me???
Don't worry bud... the government is going to give them a prestigious 6 figure income government job.
Even the cops are happy about this case 😂
I work at the toronto pearson airport, and I havent been told about this AT ALLLLLLL
We really got "The Big Score" from GTA 5 Irl before GTA 6.
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.
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.
When the cops actually solve a crime they want a TV show.
How do these containers not have gps inside?
Of course they’re released. Canada’s justice system is so weak that its integrity’s being tainted by these people everyday.
Bro's shipping gold like it's nothing
Story belongs in GTA... Oh wait 😂
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.
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!
so was the gold found ?
Shocking broski😰
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.
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"
They’re all standing there so proud, this case is far from concluded, a bit of a half assed effort so far. Definitely not ready for a press release, come back with some real news 😴👋
You would think that in such pallet they would have like an airtag at least. Wow
Wow that is a diverse cast of characters lol
You have to love that cultural enrichment
This thing of having colleagues stand behind for press conferences must cost $$$ in lost working hours..
