Ya think?A gut feeling tells me it was a targeted heist with insiders.
Brinks was in charge of carrying the gold.Just a random bit of Toronto news that seems UT report worthy, but not its own thread worthy.............
Apparently someone(s) made off with at least 20M in gold and other high value items from Pearson.

These are really somewhat related issues -- the staffing model should assume that there will be x% of calls that aren't truly 911 but will take up the operators' time. If there are other mitigations they can try to put in place to educate the public when and when not to call that will help but staffing needs to take reality into consideration.They are in the process of hiring more 911 operators (it says so right in the article you linked). The other issue with 911 is that people call it for all sorts of unnecessary reasons which ties up operators and can result in situations like this.
Locals in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood are up in arms after losing their best-kept secret after city officials closed off a stretch of beachfront where people could escape the crowds of busy nearby public beaches.
The so-called "secret beach" is located east of the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, just south of Queen Street's eastern terminus at Fallingbrook Road.
Area residents have long used this quiet tract of lakefront space for some relative peace over the often-crowded Kew-Balmy and Woodbine Beaches, but it looks like they'll have to mingle with the masses for the rapidly approaching beachgoing season.
One resident recently discovered the secret beach chained off by the city, and people are not pleased to have lost their little-known sandy getaway.
An anonymous post shared in The Beach(es), Toronto Facebook group on Wednesday says, "FYI: The gate into 'secret beach' has been chained off and locked by the City. It's a true gem of a spot, and is filled with so much nature and beauty."
The comment continued, "I imagine the chain won't last long," adding, "Restricting access to City nature is sad."
A City of Toronto representative tells blogTO that beach is owned by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and managed by Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and access to the site has been prohibited in the name of public safety.
"There is no safe access point to this beach for the public or emergency services," says the City representative, continuing, "this beach is not supervised by lifeguards, who are on duty daily from June 3 to Labour Day at Toronto's 10 swimming beaches."
Locals will likely not be too happy to hear the City's recommendation that, instead of continuing to use their hidden hotspot, they instead go stake out a slice of waterfront on the busy beaches nearby.
"Kew-Balmy Beach and Woodbine Beach are the nearest supervised locations," says the City official, adding, "swimming without lifeguard supervision is not recommended."
LOL.....I've gotten so many of those tickets
This beach has been fenced off for as long as I can remember but it has equally been used as long as I can remember. Another 'the sky is falling' story from BlogTO, I assume 'people' will manage to circumvent any fencing again this year.
The teenagers and tweens will be able to circumvent around, over, and maybe under any fencing. However, the dangerous seniors have to be prohibited from entering because of the grannies hooliganism that city has to protect us from.This beach has been fenced off for as long as I can remember but it has equally been used as long as I can remember.

Why can't we deputize average citizens to enforce this? Take a video and record the plate.
