What Happened Here?
The RCMP is probing a potentially massive gold heist after the Royal Canadian Mint lost track of millions of dollars of precious metal at its high-security facility along the Ottawa River.
There have been two relatively small incidents of gold theft in recent years at the mint, but nothing that compares to the current mystery involving millions of dollars in closely guarded metal.
Independent review of the Royal Canadian Mint's records shows accounting glitch is unlikely ââ¬â so how did $19-million of the precious metal disappear?
