Police issued this Port of Montreal surveillance footage of the stolen truck.
A shipping container stolen from Montreal's port last week was found parked in a city suburb north of the island of Montreal, minus the $10 million in silver it was supposed to have been carrying.
The Maersk Line container was located on St-Paul Street in the city of Repentigny, parked on a side street in a leafy residential suburb, according to Montreal police. It was on a trailer and the truck that pulled it was also missing.
Police said the day-time heist began on Wednesday, when “one or more individuals” stole a semi-trailer from Montreal's west end, drove it to the Port of Montreal, loaded a shipping container carrying 16 tonnes of silver onto it and drove off.
Surveillance at the port revealed the truck and licence plate L548854 but the driver could not be identified. The stolen truck is a white 1997 Freightliner.
