Post says Air Canada gold heist suspect in U.S. hands

2026-11-12 08:56 ET - In the News

The National Post reports in its Thursday edition that a fugitive wanted for the Toronto airport gold heist has been arrested in Mexico after fleeing Canada when released on bail. The Post's Adrian Humphreys writes that he was hiding out in "one of the most privileged locations" of the resort hot spot of Cancun. Prasath Paramalingam, 37, of Brampton, Ont., was first arrested in Canada in 2024, on the first anniversary of the spectacular heist in which a shipping crate of gold bullion and foreign cash worth more than $22.5-million was stolen from Air Canada's cargo warehouse -- but he disappeared after his release on bail. An arrest warrant was issued against him in Canada, but he was also wanted in the United States, where he was accused in a plot to smuggle handguns into Canada. Mexican authorities said Mr. Paramalingam entered Mexico illegally by land, travelling from San Diego into Tijuana, before relocating to Cancun, where he was arrested in early October by agents of the Quintana Roo State Prosecutor's Office at the request of U.S. authorities. The circumstances of his arrest are not yet known. He was held in immigration detention in Mexico until he was turned over to United States Marshals.
