Halton Regional Police say eight suspects have been arrested in connection with a series of “smash-and-grab” robberies at jewelry stores across southern Ontario.
Police confirmed to CP24 that eight people are facing a combined 50 charges in connection with the robberies, which occurred in Burlington, Guelph, Brantford, Waterloo, and St. Catharines between January and March 2026.
“This organized group has been targeting communities across the GTA for weeks. Residents, shoppers, and business owners deserve to feel safe in our malls and stores,” Halton Regional Police Chief Stephen Tanner said in the news release.
“They act in complete disregard for the rule of law – four of the accused were out on forms of release at the time of their arrest. This investigation goes a long way toward restoring that sense of safety and sends a clear message: the Halton Regional Police Service will be relentless in pursuing those responsible and bringing them to justice.”
