The alleged wheelman in the 2023 heist at Toronto’s Pearson airport has agreed to plead guilty to arms-trafficking charges in the U.S., which prosecutors allege stemmed from an effort to spend some of $20 million worth of stolen gold on guns.
Durante King-McLean of Brampton, Ont., who has been in custody in Pennsylvania since state troopers pulled him over in September 2023, signed the deal earlier this month before it was filed on Friday — pleading guilty to conspiracy to traffic firearms, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison or a fine of $250,000.
