Smash-and-Grab at Oshawa Mall: 5 Arrested

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome to Toronto News Today, powered by AI. Five folks are now in custody after a bold smashing grab hit a jewelry store inside Ashwas Inter Mall on Sunday. Durham Regional Police got the call around 3.45 pm. When four suspects rushed in, busted open display cases and one even blasted bear, sprayed to clear the way. Mall security jumped into action fast, nabbing some of the crew right there as caught on social media video. The rest bolted to a getaway car driven by a fifth suspect, but they didn't get far. That vehicle clipped another in a minor crash nearby, forcing the robbers to ditch it and run on foot. Cops tracked them down and made the arrests without much drama. A few people suffered minor injuries from the bear spray and fire crews rolled in to help ventilate the store and ease the sting. Police are still sorting through the details, with no charges announced yet, but this quick takedown shows how security and response teams shut it, down cold.
