Toronto Police are on the scene of yet another smash and grab jewellery store robbery.
Police received several calls at around 3:33 p.m. alerting them to a robbery at a jewellery kiosk in Golden Mile Plaza in the Victoria Park Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East area.
Several masked suspects were seen smashing display cases with hammers and stealing items before fleeing in a vehicle in an unknown direction.
There’s no word on injuries at this point, but a witness told CityNews one of the suspects was seen bleeding as they fled. It’s not clear how the suspect was cut. The witness said security staff tried to physically apprehend some of the suspects, but they managed to get away.
The witness also told CityNews that a replica gun was recovered at the scene. Police have not yet confirmed that detail.
It’s the latest in a rash of similar robberies at jewellery stores across the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area.
