Six suspects are in custody in connection with a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in a Markham mall that was captured on video.
York Regional Police (YRP) received multiple reports of a jewelry store robbery at CF Markville in the area of Highway 7 and McCowan Road just after 12 p.m.
“The suspects were observed to be smashing glass cases with hammers in an attempt to steal items,” YRP spokesperson Const. Kevin Nebrija said.
In a video obtained by CTV News Toronto, at least 10 people are seen smashing the store’s window panes and door violently and grabbing an unknown quantity of items.
No injuries were reported as a result of the robbery.
Nebrija said the suspects fled the mall in a Honda Civic. A short time later they collided into the back of a vehicle at the intersection, he said.
Responding officers saw multiple suspects running away from the intersection and chased after them, according to Nebrija.
