Air Canada has fired back in a lawsuit by security firm Brink’s, saying the airline bears no responsibility for the daring theft of $23.8 million in gold and cash from its facilities at Toronto’s Pearson airport earlier this year.

A thief walked away with the costly cargo after presenting a phoney document at an Air Canada warehouse on April 17, according to the Brink’s filing last month.
