The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have been drafted in help find out who was behind the robbery. According to the Toronto Sun, police believe that the robbery was likely pulled off by local organised criminal groups. Investigators believe the thieves would have made off in a truck due to the size of the swag. Bloomberg reported an RCMP spokesperson saying: “We are still trying to get accurate information on the heist.”
