Shocking daylight jewellery heist in Calgary

Calgary’s Dalhousie area was the scene of a brazen jewellery store robbery. At about 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 8, chaos erupted at Shimoon Jewellers, located in the bustling Dalhousie Station Shopping Centre.

Five masked suspects, clad in hoodies, waited patiently outside for a customer to exit before storming in with hammers. Within seconds, they shattered display cases, grabbing over $100,000 worth of jewellery. All of this unfolded in less than two minutes.

Witnesses were left in disbelief as a chilling video surfaced on social media, capturing the sound of glass shattering just moments before the suspects fled the scene in a stolen Ford F-150.

With the vehicle’s license plate number (CLH 2619) now in police hands, the hunt for these masked bandits is underway.

No injuries were reported.
