Trial Set to Begin for Man Accused in Massive Gold Heist at Toronto’s Pearson Airport

On Monday, October 5, 2026, the trial for Parmpal Sidhu begins in Brampton, Ont., concerning his alleged involvement in the 2023 theft of gold from Pearson International Airport.
Police allege that on April 17, 2023, thieves stole 6,600 gold bars weighing more than 400 kilograms valued at more than $20 million from an Air Canada cargo facility at Pearson.
Investigators claim a suspect presented a fraudulent airway bill to warehouse employees, who loaded the shipment onto a five-tonne truck; meanwhile, one participant was sentenced this spring to four years in prison.
Last month, the Crown withdrew charges against Ali Raza, a jeweller accused of receiving stolen gold, and Amit Jalota as prosecutors narrowed the case scope.
Archit Grover is expected to face trial later this fall, while Arsalan Chaudhary, who pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000, must pay $22 million in restitution over 40 years.
