Five teenage boys have been arrested after a jewelry store robbery at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo.
Waterloo regional police were called to the mall just after 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 15.
They were told a group of males, armed with hammers and a firearm, went into a store and began smashing display cases, stealing jewelry, and threatening staff members.
The suspects then ran out of the store to a vehicle waiting outside.
Police say they were quickly able to track down the vehicle as the driver was trying to leave the area. The driver refused to stop for police, hit a curb, and broke the vehicle’s axle.
Police say five males jumped out of the vehicle and ran away.
Officers, with the help of the canine unit, chased the suspects on foot. The suspects were arrested in the Frobisher Drive area.
