A smash and grab jewelry store robbery happened at Masonville Place on Wednesday evening.

Police are looking to identify three suspects following a smash and grab robbery at a north end mall jewelery store on Wednesday night.

According to a news release from the London Police Service, at approximately 8:25 p.m. on Wednesday, three males wearing ski-masks entered a jewelry store inside Masonville Place, located at Richmond Street and Fanshawe Park Road East.

Once inside the business, police say the suspects brandished hammers and damaged display cases before stealing jewelry from the store and fleeing the area on foot.

Members of the LPS Uniformed Division and Canine Unit attended the scene.

With the assistance of the LPS Canine Unit, two duffle bags with jewelry and clothing were recovered a short distance away.

Police say the suspects were not located.

No injuries were reported.

The investigation has since been reassigned to the LPS Street Crime Unit.

London police describe the three suspects as the following:

• Suspect #1 is described as a male, medium build, wearing a grey zip up sweater with a hood, grey mask covering his face, dark coloured gloves, baggy style pants, dark coloured running shoes and carrying a large black duffle bag.
• Suspect #2 is described as a male, thin build, wearing a black jacket with the hood up, black face mask, black pants, and running shoes and white gloves.
• Suspect #3 is described as male, medium to heavy build, wearing a white sweater with black sleeves, black face mask, camo pants, black running shoes with white soles and carrying a large green duffle bag.

Investigators are appealing to members of the public who may have been in the area at the time of the robbery and who may have dash-cam, cellphone or business and residential video surveillance that could assist with the investigation to contact London police.
