Lim’s co-accused, Randy Per, an Air Canada employee at the time of the offence, used his status at the airport to gain access to a warehouse where a package that had been shipped from South Asia was being stored awaiting approval for entry to Canada.

On May 22, 2014, Per was seen engaging in a large number of phone calls and text messages after which he met up with Lim off-site.

Lim drove a black Mercedes into the airport warehouse where Per, who had by then returned to the warehouse, used a forklift to load the shipment into the luxury vehicle.

Lim drove away but was stopped by police, who then searched the vehicle.
