Security camera failure
A security camera inside an Air Canada cargo warehouse wasn't working the day a $22.5 million gold heist crate was stolen from Toronto's Pearson airport.
Insider access used
Parmpal Sidhu, a 56-year-old former Air Canada employee, used his inside access to print an official air waybill for the stolen gold heist crate.
Key evidence missing
No fingerprints of Sidhu were found on the air waybill that was used to release the crate to the heist gang instead of Brink's security guards.
Login credentials shared
Airline cargo employees had poor computer hygiene and routinely swapped and shared login credentials to access printers inside the building.
