Police in Canada are investigating after an air cargo container carrying almost $15 million in gold and other valuables vanished from the Toronto Pearson international airport Monday.

An aircraft that arrived at the often bustling airport in the early evening had been unloaded, with its cargo transported to a holding facility "as per normal procedure," Peel Regional Police Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn said at a news conference.

 

What happened to the precious cargo once it was offloaded is a mystery, with Duivesteyn telling reporters it was removed somehow "by illegal means."

The cargo was reported missing to police a short time later and an investigation was launched, he said.

It is not clear exactly how much gold was inside the cargo container or what other valuables it held, but Duivesteyn said the total estimated worth of its contents was just more than $20 million in Canadian currency (around $14.8 million).

"It did contain gold, but was not exclusive to gold and contained other items of monetary value," he said.

Duivesteyn did not expand on where the aircraft carrying the cargo had come from or on its intended final destination.

No suspects had been identified as of early Friday.
