Police are investigating an armed robbery at a jewellery store in Hamilton, Ont., where a vehicle reversed through the front window, allowing suspects to enter. The robbers threatened the business owner by pointing a gun at him before smashing display cases.

The owner sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital. At the time of the robbery, there were no customers in the store.

After the robbery, the suspects fled on foot to a nearby vehicle, but police were able to apprehend five individuals.
