Niagara Regional Police
say they are looking for five male suspects in their early 20s following a smash-and-grab robbery at
Harmony Jewellers
in Grimsby on Thursday morning.
Police say they received a 911 call around 11:25 a.m. after a black Dodge Ram pickup truck crashed in reverse through the window of Main Street West store.
This is the third time in the past four months the store has been targeted by thieves.

Police say four masked men, armed with axes and hammers, got out of the truck and went into the store where they smashed display cases containing jewelry and watches.
The driver of the pickup went across the street to an unoccupied white Honda CRV.
Police say the CRV was used by the thieves to escape.
Video taken in the seconds after the front window was smashed show the masked men running out of the store and across the street into the CRV.
They were being chased by a man who smashed the windshield and windows of the CRV with a crowbar.
Police say a black handgun with a narrow silver barrel was pointed at an individual attempting to stop the escape.

Police say a witness told them the suspects got out of the CRV and into an awaiting pickup truck.
All the suspects wore dark coloured clothing and blue surgical style face masks and the items stolen and their value remain under investigation.
Police say the Dodge Ram pickup truck was stolen in London on Jan. 10 and the Honda CRV was stolen in Toronto on April 23.
