U.S. authorities say one of the suspects in a major gold and cash heist at Toronto’s Pearson airport has been sentenced to 13 years in federal U.S. prison after an attempted gun-smuggling scheme. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Durante King-Mclean, 27, pleaded guilty in the U.S. last year. Authorities say he had been staying in Florida and attempted to smuggle handguns into Canada. Following the guilty plea, he receives the 13-year sentence in a federal prison in the United States. The case is tied to an alleged “massive” gold and cash heist connected to Pearson airport. The Winnipeg Free Press and City News Toronto both report the same U.S. sentencing outcome and the related gun-running attempt. The reporting emphasizes the cross-border nature of the allegations, with the U.S. case focusing on the weapon-smuggling conduct and the broader theft involving Toronto’s Pearson airport. Further details about the Toronto-side charges and other suspects are not included in the provided summaries.
