6 arrested in daylight jewellery store robbery at Markham mall

York Regional Police say six suspects are in custody and others are wanted after a daylight ‘smash-and-grab’ robbery at a Markham jewellery store Wednesday afternoon.

Video circulating online shows suspects armed with hammers smashing the glass at the front of Lukfook Jewellery located on CF Markville mall’s lower level.

The mall is on McCowan Road near Highway 7.

Some of the suspects attempted to flee the area in a Honda Civic and collided into the back of another car at a nearby intersection.

A police foot-pursuit then took place.
