Three people have been injured following a brazen robbery in Rexdale.
A pickup truck crashed into the front window of Raj’s Jewellery on Islington Avenue near Albion Road just before 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
Police say the thieves entered the store and took a quantity of merchandise before fleeing the area.
Paramedics tell CityNews two men and a woman were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
There were no immediate suspect descriptions.
The robbery appeared to mimic a similar incident on December 6 where the driver of a truck reversed and crashed through the front window of Ancaster Jewellers. Five people were arrested in that robbery.
It is the latest in a series of smash-and-grab robberies that have plagued the GTA since the beginning of the month.
