York Regional Police investigators are trying to identify several suspects involved in a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewellery store at Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill on Friday.
Officers were called to the mall just after 5:30 p.m. on March 20 after reports that three masked suspects entered the store wielding hammers.
The suspects used the hammers to smash display cases and steal jewellery, police said in a release. The trio then fled to an awaiting dark-colured sedan driven by a fourth suspect.
No injuries were reported.
The suspect vehicle was later found abandoned with investigators learning it had fake licence plates affixed to it.
The suspects are described as:
Suspect #1: Male, Black, mid to late teens with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a black mask, a black hoodie, black track pants, black sneakers, black gloves and was carrying a red duffle-style backpack.
Suspect #2: Male, Black, mid to late teens with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a black mask, black hoodie with a white horizontal stripe, black track pants, black sneakers and black gloves.
Suspect #3: Male, Black, mid to late teens with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a black mask, black hoodie with a white horizontal stripe, grey track pants, black sneakers and black gloves.
Police say no suspect description of the getaway driver is available.
