Not to worry, everyone that was arrested will be out on bail by tomorrow morning, remember, they got caught in Canada.

Even if they're held in jail here in Canada , that's a hotel room where these guys are from .

Police officers do not need to go that far, I am sure some Desi jewelers from GTA must have bought the gold from them.

Once melted and sold it will be impossible to trace unless a money trail is uncovered to follow the crums

[@The_DC_Kid]

Unknown to most is that expert metallurgists can examine gold and determine from where it came.

[@mannkhushwinder]

No you can’t, it’s metal you can change composition

[@D33Lux]

@@The_DC_Kid What non-sense. Once gold is melted down and mixed with other gold its untraceable. You don't know what you're talking about. All the worlds gold from the times of Egyptian Pharaohs, Incan and Mayan empires is the same gold melted down and reused today. Its the only metal that doesn't degrade, tarnish or get consumed when processing.

Not only should these guys be in jail pending trial for the theft they should be in jail for trafficking guns. These guns in the hands of criminals lead to innocent lives being lost and many many other crimes. What has happened to the criminal just system?

[@medula]

Did someone who worked for the airline or shipping company tip them off? They had inside knowledge. Maybe even someone who worked in Zurich for the company shipping the gold.

[@D33Lux]

Almost the entire staff at the airport is some indian person. No surprise they had help with the heist, Singh helping Singh.

[@luckyguy600]

Aaaa Now you're getting warm. Without 'knowledge' from Switzerland NONE of these things could have happened. And the Swiss love their gold.

[@briangibbs518]

I saw it on TV: It was Ray Leotta, Robert De Nero and Joe Pesci.

[@redbaboonass4416]

Getting rid of gold is easy but $20 million worth of gold is a lot different. They would have to melt it in order to get rid of any engravings/stamps on the gold bars/coins. It would require a commercial size foundery in order to melt that much gold in a reasonable amount of time.

You can charter a private plane, you don't even have to go through customs when you're rich. You get driven to the tarmac and take off. Crime pays!
