Halton Regional Police Service is searching for four suspects after a smash-and-grab robbery at a Burlington jewelry store earlier this week.
The robbery happened at about 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 10 at Kris Jewelers, located at 2201 Brant Street, according to the Halton Regional Police Service. Four suspects used hammers and an axe to break the glass of an exterior door and get inside the store.
Once inside, the suspects smashed numerous display cases containing jewelry and stole multiple pieces before fleeing in a waiting dark grey Acura SUV. Police say the vehicle was last seen travelling east on Upper Middle Road, between Brant Street and Guelph Line.
Investigators later recovered the SUV in Burlington on Nov. 11. Police say it had been reported stolen from Toronto.
The four suspects are described as male and were wearing dark-coloured clothing and face coverings. Three of them were carrying backpacks.
No staff members were physically injured during the robbery, police said.
The brazen daytime heist unfolded on one of Burlington's busiest commercial corridors, and police are hoping drivers and businesses in the area can help fill in the picture of what happened.
Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the 3 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777, extension 2316. Police are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who may have security camera or dashcam footage from the area around the time of the offence.
The Halton Regional Police Service headquarters is located at 2485 North Service Rd. W. in Oakville.
