Toronto police have arrested three suspects following another smash-and-grab style robbery at Toronto’s Fairview Mall.
Police said they were called to the North York shopping centre, near Sheppard Avenue East and Don Mills Road, on Monday night around 8:45 p.m. for reports of a robbery at a jewelry store.
Investigators said four suspects were seen armed with hammers. They ran away with merchandise, police said.
Police said they arrested one suspect roughly 30 minutes after the incident. In an update Tuesday morning, police said two other suspects had been arrested. All three are described as male youths and are facing charges of robbery with an offensive weapon and disguise with intent.
A description has not been provided for the one outstanding suspect at this time.
No injuries have been reported.
Video taken at the scene and obtained by CTV News Toronto showed security guards running to the store as it was ransacked.
The person who recorded the video said he heard “two big bangs” after the suspects, who he said were all dressed in black and wearing masks, entered the store.
“The glass was broken. People were urged to stay away from the area and go into the closest store,” the witness told CTV News Toronto.
Police later told CTV News Toronto that the store that was robbed is the same one that was targeted back on Dec. 16.
This is the second smash-and-grab-style robbery Toronto police are investigating on Monday evening.
At around the same time, three suspects armed with hammers allegedly robbed a store near Eglinton Avenue West and Venn Crescent, just east of Keele Street. They all fled the scene in a vehicle, police said.
