''In April 2024, five suspects were arrested and three Canada-wide arrest warrants were issued for suspects, with a fourth suspect in custody in the United States.
The suspects have since been released on bail, whereas two other suspects are believed to be in the U.K., India and/or Dubai.''

''In the June 2024 board meeting, police alleged that some of the suspects were additionally involved in aspects of firearms trafficking.
A video released during the meeting states that there were 65 illegal firearms seized in relation to the 24Karat investigation.
“This isn’t just about gold, this is about how gold becomes guns,” Peel Regional Police Board Chair member Nando Iannicca said in the video. “And gold can be remade, but people’s lives, and what happens when guns are involved, cannot.”
