“One which we jokingly say belongs in a Netflix series.”A truck driver with a fraudulent waybill for a seafood shipment picks up the container. Instead of a load of farm-raised seafood, the truck driver pulled away from the loading dock with loot. “They needed people inside Air Canada to facilitate this theft,” Peel Regional Police Det. In its legal response to the Brink’s lawsuit, Air Canada has denied it was “careless” and its security lax. Canadian police had identified him as the truck driver early in the investigation but had not been able to locate him.

CNN —The home of a Canadian Sikh activist in Brampton, Ontario, was hit by gunfire on Monday, months after the assassination of another activist sent India-Canada relations into a spiral. “It appears that only one bullet hole was found but that is subject to change,” Peel Regional Police wrote in a statement. The bullet hole in Gosal's home in Brampton, Ontario. The Canadian citizen was gunned down by masked men last June outside a Sikh temple in British Colombia. Weeks later, the United States accused an Indian government official of being involved in a conspiracy to kill another Sikh separatist, American citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, on US soil.

ROME (AP) — An 8-month-old terminally ill British girl was granted Italian citizenship Monday after a court in Britain upheld rulings authorizing the withdrawal of life-supporting invasive treatment. Baby Indi Gregory's situation is the latest in a series of cases in Britain in which doctors and parents have sparred over the treatment of terminally ill children. The child’s family hopes the Italian government's decision will add heft to their fight to allow her to be transferred to Italy. Peel ruled that nothing had changed since an earlier ruling that authorized the withdrawal of life-supporting invasive treatment. In addition, it is possible that transferring Indi to Rome would increase her “distress and suffering,” Peel said.
