It was an abrupt end to an attempted theft at a local smartphone store Friday (Mar. 7).
According to Halton police media relations officer Jeff Dillon, five male suspects dressed in black clothing and wearing face coverings approached Bell Mobility on Maple Avenue at about 1:10 p.m. and attempted to enter through the front door.
They found the entrance locked and subsequently fled the area in a light-coloured minivan.
No weapons were observed.
The investigation continues and anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police at 905-825-4777.
