Eight new photos have been released of an armed robbery at Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener.

On Saturday, four masked males carrying hammers and a handgun walked into a jewelry store.

They then began smashing glass display cases and grabbing merchandise.

Waterloo regional police say the suspects also discharged a noxious substance as they left the mall and fled in a white SUV driven by a fifth suspect.

The mall was evacuated after some shoppers told police that they were having difficulty breathing.

Police said two employees were also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The newly released photos show the suspects, dressed all in black, climbing over and breaking the glass displays. One can also be seen holding a gun.
