$1.1 Million in gold stolen from house near Belleville

Who says that you have to travel to an exotic location to pull off a major heist?  According to the Ottawa Citizen $1.1 million in gold was stolen from a house in eastern Ontario.

About $1.1 million in gold bars and coins and a further $4,000 in American currency were stolen, apparently in April, from a home in Cramahe Township. The rural municipality is between Brighton and Colborne.
“It’s kind of a bizarre situation,” said Northumberland OPP Const. Kimberly Johnston. “This type of theft is not something we come across every day.”
