We do not consider this to be a public safety matter." Police are not certain where the gold is or if it's still in Canada, and have not made any arrests in connection with the crime. Investigators also refused to say what airline was responsible for shipping the cargo.on Thursday that the thieves accessed the public side of a warehouse that is leased to a third party outside the primary security line.
