Five suspects are wanted by the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) following a smash and grab Jewelry store robbery in Burlington.
On Sunday, January 25th, at roughly 2:55 p.m., four suspects entered Michael Hill Jewelers at Mapleview Mall on Maple Avenue. They used hammers to break and access numerous display cases containing jewelry. Multiple pieces of jewelry were stolen and the suspects fled in a waiting newer model dark grey Honda Civic which was driven by a fifth suspect.
The four suspects observed inside the jewelers are described by the HRPS as:
- male
- black
- wearing dark coloured clothing and face coverings
At the time of the incident, initial reports of gunfire were received from inside the mall; however, investigation quickly determined the sounds heard were a result of the hammers contacting the glass display cases. No firearms were seen or used.
There were no reported physical injuries to staff members or mall patrons.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation, including anyone who may have security or dash cam video from around the time of the offence, is asked to contact the 3 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777 ext. 2316.
