## 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.
## Key takeaway

A security camera at Air Canada's Toronto warehouse didn't work during a $22.5 million gold heist in 2023, allowing an insider to print an air waybill for the theft.
