A former Air Canada manager wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in relation to the $20-million gold heist from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport has agreed to turn himself in.
Simran Preet Panesar, 31, is wanted on charges including theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, Peel Regional Police announced last month.
Panesar was an employee of Air Canada at the time of the theft in April 2023.

Panesar’s lawyer, Greg Lafontaine, told CBC his client is “very confident in the Canadian justice system.”
“When this prosecution is over, he will have been absolved of any wrongdoing,” Lafontaine added, without saying where Panesar is.
