Halton police are looking for at least four suspects who they say backed an SUV into a jewelry store in Burlington during a smash-and-grab robbery on Thursday afternoon.

The incident occurred at the Buy N Sell City store in the area of Fairview Street and Maple Avenue shortly before 5 p.m.

Halton police media relations officer Const. Jeff Dillon said a grey Honda CRV reversed onto the front door of the store to gain entry.

With their faces covered and armed with hammers, four or five male suspects entered the store and stole jewelry pieces, Dillon said.

The suspects then fled in a dark-coloured sedan, leaving the CRV behind.

No suspect descriptions have been released. The worth of the stolen pieces is unknown.

Dillon said there were no reported injuries.

Due to the damage, the business would be inspected for structural integrity, Dillon said.
