The ringleader of the largest gold heist in Canadian history has been sentenced to four years behind bars, minus time served in pre-sentence custody.
Arsalan Chaudhary has 42 months left to serve on his four-year sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of theft over $5,000 for his role in the heist of more than $22 million in gold and cash from the Toronto Pearson Airport three years ago. The gold and cash arrived on a flight from Switzerland on April 17, 2023, and was stolen hours later, before a scheduled pickup by Brinks Canada.
