Canadian police announced on Thursday (21) that they are investigating the theft of more than $15 million (R$75.7 million) in gold and other ‘high value’ assets from Toronto airport.
The gold and other valuables arrived in a container on Monday which was unloaded from a plane and safely stored at the cargo facility, said Stephen Duivesteyn, a Peel Regional Police Inspector, during a press conference.
The cargo was reported missing shortly thereafter. Duivesteyn said “the high-value container was illegally removed from the facility”, but declined to comment on details of the theft or who might have been behind it.
“Our investigators are open to all possibilities,” the official said. “We are evaluating from all angles how it was stolen.”
The Toronto Sun reported that – according to unnamed sources – the thieves took 3,600 pounds of gold and that authorities are investigating organized crime groups in the area.
“It’s quite unusual,” Duivesteyn said, describing the theft as an isolated incident with no impact on travelers.
The officer added that it was too early to determine whether it was a professional theft or a crime of opportunity.

In 1821, it was the turn of King George IV. He was crowned at Westminster Abbey, also in London, and ruled until 1830, when he died of coronary thrombosis, a disease that causes a heart attack. The monarch was known to be womanizer and vulgar, until he fell in love with a woman his father didn’t approve of, which angered him. Although brief, George IV’s reign was marked by controversy and exorbitant expense.

King William IV and Queen Adelaide were crowned in 1831, a year after the death of the last successor. This reign was marked by many political and social reforms, and the king even tried to establish a more liberal constitution in the country, which did not last long. William was in the Navy and was not destined for the throne until his older brother, George, had a heart attack. Without legitimate successors, his niece Victoria succeeds him.

This was the invitation used by the Duchess of Kent, in 1838, to invite the nobility to the coronation of her daughter, Queen Victoria. His reign was one of the longest, with 63 years in power, at a time of great industrial development. During this period, the United Kingdom became the British Empire and Queen Victoria became known for securing various rights for citizens, such as shorter working hours and the abolition of slavery.

In 1953, the crown received one of its oldest queens. Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years and died at the age of 96 in September 2022. Throughout her reign, the monarch crossed the post-war world, faced one of the periods of greatest tension in Northern Ireland and experienced wars. Despite the controversies involving her children and grandchildren, the sovereign was very dear and respected by the British.
