The alleged driver in the notorious Toronto airport gold heist is negotiating a plea deal in the United States, where he is charged with trying to smuggle a car stuffed with guns into Canada.

Durante King-Mclean, 25, of Brampton, Ont., is accused in Canada of being the driver who pulled a white truck into an Air Canada cargo loading bay at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport last year and used an old Air Canada waybill to fraudulently pick up a shipping container within hours of it arriving on a flight from Switzerland.
