TORONTO – Six youths have been charged after a botched jewellery store robbery in Toronto, captured on video.
York Regional Police tracked a stolen Acura TLX sedan on March 14, leading to a police containment operation. As five masked suspects armed with sledgehammers attempted to smash into a store, officers moved in. Following a brief foot chase, all six suspects—three 16-year-olds and three 17-year-olds from Brampton, Toronto, and Vaughan—were taken into custody.
The teens face multiple charges, including robbery with a weapon, disguise with intent, and possession of stolen property over $5,000. The investigation is ongoing.
Authorities urge business owners to stay vigilant, enhance security measures, and report suspicious activity immediately.
