Police said they were called to the store, which is located on Rue De Liege in Montreal, around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Police are searching for a group of jewelry thieves who broke into a store in a brazen incident on the outskirts of Montreal on Sunday night, smashing a vehicle through the front window.
A shocking video shared with Global News by the owners of Famous Jewellers on Rue De Liege captured the moment a vehicle reversed at speed into their store, with several suspects jumping out, seemingly armed and running to its display cases.
The security footage shows the front of the store fly inwards, as the rear lights of a large SUV can be seen. The owner runs out toward the vehicle shouting as at least three masked figures come into the damaged store.
One of the figures wields what appears to be a large hammer, while the owner tries to battle the other two. Another one of the suspects also appears to have a weapon in their hand, and eventually, one of the thieves goes over to the glass display cases and succeeds in shattering some of them.
The video ends with the suspects appearing to leave, at least temporarily, and the front of the store in ruins.
Police confirmed to Global News that they were called to the store on Rue De Liege around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
