Peel Regional Police have arrested five people, issued four arrest warrants, and laid 19 charges in connection with last year’s $20-million Toronto Pearson Airport gold heist.

The arrests were announced on April 17, the one-year anniversary of the daring theft that Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah described as the largest gold heist in Canadian history, saying it was sensational enough to be the subject of a “Netflix series.”
