Toronto Pearson gold heist: Ontario man arrested at airport after arriving from India

An Ontario man is facing charges in connection with the largest gold heist in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport last year.

Archit Grover, 36, from Brampton, was arrested on Monday after arriving on a flight from India, Peel Regional Police said in a new release Thursday.

His arrest comes after Peel police, along with the Philadelphia Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, announced five arrests in the case in April.

Kayla McLean reports on the arrest and the latest details on the investigation.

So these guys got 20 mil worth of gold through airport security while I can’t bring a bottle of water through.

Canada needs to tighten their international student visa program especially for India.

Criminals from that country are taking advantage of it to get into Canada and leech off it's already weak economy.

Oh, and no I'm not racist. I'm also a Southeast Asian immigrant who got Canadian Citizenship back in the early 2000's. Things were much more moderate back then. Only skilled immigrants like my parents actually got approved.

Should've been deported immediately after the arrest

Indian hit men claimed to be international students and now gold heist. Was this guy another student of Conestoga?

Brampton Man is now synonymous with Florida Man haha

Don’t forget to mention Punjab, Trudeau’s relative. India has been warning Canada for a while that they are hoarding nuisance.

Why did the guy leave India? Did he forget to check the news the police were probably looking for him?

[gamezillagaming]

so many crimes lately involving indians

[trevorherchak]

Love the screening Canada does so safe and secure useless tools..

[osok]

Just let them coming as international students or doctorates.

[Forfeit]

Oh another brampton person, WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

[tommynickels]

Indian after Indian. Last one drove a Uhaul wrong direction on the 401 and struck a car... filled with, yup, Indians.

[professionalboycottservice]

They are KANNADIANS. NOT Canadians. Brampton, Kannada.

[kimsedgwick]

Wow. A Brampton man... not surprising.

[jeil]

You cant get nail clippers on a plane but somehow 6600 gold bars go missing. Security theatre at YYZ!

[TheAnthonyjames]

India man...only after twenty years of being a law abiding citizen in Canada should you be classified Canadian.

[bob-pxj]

did I miss something or were they really that dumb to not notice the cctv camera?

[patientzero]

Should the IRCC need meticulous background checks for all potential citizens in the future rather than just give them outright passage within the country by current standards?

[rustygoldfanatic]

What a surprise, who would have thought people from India 😅

Please don't send him out on bail
