Montreal police (SPVM) are investigating a robbery that occurred at a jewellery store in the Parc-Extension neighborhood on Saturday evening.

According to police, several people deliberately crashed an SUV into the storefront to carry out the robbery.

SPVM spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier said police received a 911 call around 6:30 p.m. reporting an alarm triggered at the store on Liège Street, near Champagneur Avenue.

“When police arrived at the scene, they found a 27-year-old man with injuries to the upper body. The victim had been injured during an altercation with the suspects,” Gauthier said.

The victim, Gaganjeet Singh, owner of the jewellery store, told CTV News that when he realized he was facing a robbery, he decided to confront the three armed attackers.

“Then I just tried to hit them, like they should go out. But the guys came in with a big hammer, rods, guns. It was hard for me to,” Singh explained.
