Police are currently on the lookout for suspects involved in a robbery at a jewelry store in Burlington Mall.
According to authorities, the incident occurred on Monday afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. at the mall located on Guelph Line. The suspects, who are believed to be armed, entered the jewelry store and proceeded to steal a significant amount of merchandise before fleeing the scene.
The Halton Regional Police Service has released a statement urging anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident to come forward. They have also advised the public to avoid approaching the suspects if they are spotted, as they are considered armed and dangerous.
The suspects are described as two males, both wearing dark clothing and masks. They were last seen fleeing the mall in a dark-colored vehicle, which was later found abandoned in a nearby residential area.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the robbery, but the incident has left both shoppers and store employees shaken. The mall was temporarily placed on lockdown as police conducted a thorough search of the area.
This is not the first time that Burlington Mall has been targeted by criminals. In 2019, a similar incident occurred at a different jewelry store in the mall, where suspects also made off with a large amount of merchandise.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to contact them immediately. In the meantime, shoppers and store owners are being reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
As the search for the suspects continues, the community is urged to come together and assist the police in bringing those responsible to justice.
