Four 15-year-old boys and a 20-year-old man were arrested for armed robbery of a jewelry store

Four 15-year-olds and a 20-year-old man are facing charges in connection with the armed robberies of a jewelry store in Toronto and an electronics store in Mississauga.

According to investigators, the jewelry store robbery happened on June 10, 2024, inside a shopping center near Ellesmere and Brimley roads in Toronto. "Four suspects, who were wearing disguises to conceal their identities, smashed a jewelry store window with a hammer and stole a large amount of jewelry and other property before fleeing in a stolen car," Peel police said in a statement.

Police believe the same suspects targeted an electronics store near Kennedy Road and Matheson Boulevard in Mississauga the next day. This time, the suspects armed with firearms robbed the store and stole several electronics before fleeing in the same stolen car.

All five suspects were arrested a short time later in a foot chase, and according to investigators, the stolen property was recovered. Jaylen White, 20, of Toronto, is facing charges of robbery and possession of a weapon, as well as failure to comply with a release order. Four 15-year-olds from Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto and London were also arrested and charged. They also face multiple robbery and weapons charges
