Montreal police arrested four teenagers early Thursday after a vehicle was driven into a jewelry store at the corner of Fleury Street and Curotte Avenue, shortly before 2 a.m. on July 6, 2026. The incident was classified as an attempted robbery, prompting a rapid police response.
Dispatch records show officers were sent to the intersection following multiple crash reports. Upon arrival, officers found a car lodged against the storefront, evidence that the driver had intentionally forced the vehicle into the shop. The scene was secured while investigators documented the damage and collected any available forensic material.
Four individuals, all identified as local teenagers, were taken into custody at the location. Police have not released their names, but confirmed that all four were detained without further incident. The arrests were made on the spot after the police confirmed the suspects’ involvement in the vehicle‑ramming event.
Authorities described the act as an attempted robbery, noting that the use of a car to breach the store’s entrance represented a violent method of entry. The investigation remains open as detectives continue to examine motives and any possible connections to organized theft. The incident adds to a series of recent security concerns in the city, though police emphasized that the swift apprehension of the suspects prevented additional harm.
