Montreal police announced the arrest of four teenagers after a vehicle was driven into a jewelry store at the corner of Fleury Street and Curotte Avenue. The collision occurred at approximately 2 a.m. on Monday, July 6, 2026, and police classified the act as an attempted robbery.
Officers were dispatched after receiving several crash reports that were logged around the same early‑morning hour. When they arrived at the intersection, they found the automobile had forced its way into the storefront, damaging the entrance and prompting an immediate on‑scene investigation.
The occupants of the vehicle were identified as four teenagers. All four were taken into custody at the location and charged in connection with the attempted robbery and the property damage caused by the ramming. Police confirmed that the arrests were made at the scene and that the youths were subsequently transported to a Montreal police station for processing.
The jewelry store sits in a mixed‑use area where small retail establishments line the streets near Fleury and Curotte. The neighbourhood is typically quiet during the early hours, making the incident stand out to residents and passersby who reported hearing the crash.
Investigators are reviewing the multiple crash reports and any surveillance footage that may have captured the event from nearby businesses. The review aims to piece together the sequence of actions that led to the vehicle’s impact and to determine how the attempted theft was planned.
No injuries were reported in connection with the collision, and the jewelry store has not released a public statement regarding the incident.
