Meanwhile, as the police was patrolling inside another Mississauga mall, five suspects attacked another jewellery store.
The gang of robbers, who were again armed with hammers, carried out the act in the same manner as the previous day’s, by smashing display cases and running away with valuable items.
According to an India Today report, the cops were able to arrest three robbers, including 20-year-old Indian-origin man, identified as Tejpal Toor. He was reportedly arrested after a foot chase with the mall security.
