A Brampton man has been charged after police say an employee of an armoured car company helped steal a quantity of cash from an armoured vehicle in downtown Toronto.
According to the Toronto Police, the theft occurred on April 14, 2025, in the area of Yonge Street and Dundas Street East.
Investigators say two armoured car guards left their vehicle to complete a cash drop-off at a nearby business. While the guards were inside, a white pickup truck pulled up alongside the armoured vehicle.
Police say a lone suspect got out of the pickup truck, entered the armoured vehicle through an unlocked front door and removed a quantity of cash before fleeing the scene.
The case was assigned to the Toronto Police Hold Up Squad, which launched an investigation into the theft.
Police say investigators allege an employee of the armoured car company is involved in the incident.
On May 13, officers executed a Criminal Code search warrant and arrested a suspect. During the search, investigators allegedly recovered a firearm and other items considered relevant to the investigation.
Dane Marson, 35, of Brampton, has been charged with theft over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, possession of a firearm without a licence, careless storage of a firearm, possession of a loaded regulated firearm, possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm without a valid licence, three counts of possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon or device, and failing to comply with an undertaking.
The accused was scheduled to appear before the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on May 14.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-7350 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
