Four individuals conducted a smash-and-grab robbery at a Cartier store in Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Of the four masked men, three entered the store, while the fourth remained by the store entrance as a lookout. 

One suspect, armed with pepper spray, discharged his weapon, providing the other two with the opportunity to smash Cartier’s glass display cases with hammers. They took a large, undisclosed quantity of jewellery before fleeing the scene in a dark-coloured sedan. Photos of the vehicle have been released to the public.

Toronto Police released an image of the suspects’ getaway car.

Three of the men are described to have a medium build, while the fourth has a thin build. Toronto police suspect the individuals are armed and dangerous.
