Police announced on July 6 that four male teenagers, ages thirteen to eighteen, were taken into custody after an SUV was driven into a jewelry store on Fleury Street in Montreal. The vehicle struck the storefront in an apparent robbery attempt, but officers intervened before any merchandise could be removed.
The incident took place after dark when the SUV rammed the shop’s front, causing damage to the building but leaving the inventory untouched. The family that operates the jewelry store reported the crash and confirmed that no items were taken.
Following the impact, police quickly located and arrested the four suspects. All were detained at the scene, halting the robbery before any theft could occur. The authorities identified the youths as males ranging in age from thirteen to eighteen.
The owners of the store, who have been managing the business for years, are now focused on repairing the damage caused by the crash. They expressed relief that the attempted theft was thwarted and that their merchandise remained secure.
No merchandise was reported missing, and the family is beginning the process of restoring the storefront to its pre‑incident condition. The police investigation confirmed that the suspects were apprehended before they could carry out any further actions inside the shop.
This event follows a recent nighttime break‑in attempt at the same location that also resulted in damage but no stolen goods. The latest arrest demonstrates a swift law‑enforcement response to protect local businesses from similar threats.
