Waterloo Regional Police are investigating after multiple suspects armed with hammers attempted to rob a jewellery store in Kitchener.

Police said officers were called to a business in the area of Highland Road West and Fischer-Hallman Road at approximately 7:55 p.m. on Thursday.

“Three suspects entered the store and smashed several glass display cases with hammers. Store staff intervened, and the suspects fled the store without obtaining any jewellery,” police said in a media release.

The suspects then left the area in a vehicle driven by a fourth individual and were last seen travelling west on Queen’s Boulevard.

No injuries were reported.

The investigation is ongoing and is being led by the Waterloo Regional Police Service’s Break and Enter, Auto Theft and Robbery Unit.
