Toronto teen charged for Grimsby jewelry store robbery
A 16-year-old from Toronto has been arrested for his alleged role in a daylight robbery at a Grimsby jewelry store early this year. On Jan. 18 at 3:50 p.m., six people with small sledgehammers smashed the front entrance to Harmony Jewellers and entered the store, Niagara Regional Police said. They then broke into several display cases and snatched merchandise. During a later downtown business gathering, store owner Kevin Luttjehuizen said the ordeal lasted all of 40 seconds, but left much of his staff traumatized. 'It felt like an eternity because you just wanted them to get out,' he said at the Feb. 11 event. Police said the suspects quickly left the store at 37 Main St. W., and fled in a vehicle toward Mountain Street. About a half-hour later, police in Hamilton found the truck used as a getaway vehicle abandoned in the area of Nugent Drive and Nash Road. On Thursday, police said a 16-year-old male from Toronto has been identified as one of the suspects. He has been charged with robbery, possessing more than $5,000 worth of property obtained by crime and for wearing a disguise with intent to commit a crime. The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked by police to call 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1009341. Information can be submitted anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or going to . The same store was hit twice more in the following months. On Feb. 15, three people, estimated to be aged 16 to 18, entered the store wearing masks and carrying backpacks. Their suspicious activity prompted store employees to implement theft prevention measures. Police said the measures stopped the suspects from entering any further and they left the store with no items stolen. And on April 24, the tactics used to rob the store escalated from using sledgehammers, as suspects reversed a black pickup truck through the front window. Thanks to increased security measures, including smash-proof display cases, the five masked robbers fled empty-handed. The store closed for more than a week following that incident, reopening May 5, with an armed guard greeting customers and concrete barriers doubling as flower planters installed by the Town of Grimsby out front.
