Your support makes all the difference.An attempted robbery of a jewellery store in Canada was thwarted when staff used swords to successfully fight off the thieves.
CCTV footage captured the moment employees at Ashok Jewellers in the Canadian city of Mississauga were targeted by robbers on Wednesday.
The shop staff were able to fight off the suspects who then fled in a dark coloured Dodge Durango vehicle.
Police are still searching for the identities of the four suspects who attempted to gain entry to the store by breaking a storefront window.
Though there were no reported injuries and no property was stolen, Constable Danny Marttini told Global News that the police do not condone the use of swords by the staff.
Officials are appealing for witnesses, dash-cam or surveillance video or any information on this incident.
Anyone with information should contact investigators from the Centeral Robbery Bureau at (905) 453-2121, ext. 3410. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting peelcrimestoppers.ca
