Waterloo regional police say a smash-and-grab robbery happened at a mall in Kitchener on Monday night which was similar to one that occurred last week in Stratford.
According to a release, police were called to Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener shortly after 8 p.m. after the robbery was reported.
Police say three people went into the store armed with hammers and pepper spray before they smashed display cases and made off with merchandise.
The trio of bandits made their escape in a silver SUV, according to police, who say there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.
The incident was similar to one that occurred at a store in Stratford Mall on Jan. 3.
Police in Stratford said that four men entered into Paris Jewellers in the Stratford Mall at around 6:30 p.m. on that day.
The bandits, who were said to be dressed in black from head-to-toe, made off with over $100,000 in jewelry after smashing the cases and lifting the merchandise during that incident.
Once they left the store, police said the suspects fled the scene in black four-door sedan, believed to be a Chrysler 300. It was last seen heading out of the city on Ontario Street.
Police in Stratford said the incident there took less than a minute. They also released a video of the incident.
