Another attempted robbery reported at Conestoga Mall

Two more armed jewelry store robbery attempts were made at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, all in the span of 48 hours. CTV's Tyler Kelaher reports.

Waterloo Regional Police are investigating another attempted robbery at Conestoga Mall – the second incident reported within 48 hours.

Shortly before 1:50 p.m. Monday, six males were spotted heading towards a jewelry store.

When a security guard shouted at workers to close the gates, the suspects took off.

Police said another security guard pursued and saw them leaving the parking lot in a silver SUV.

The suspects are described as:

• Suspect #1: Male, wearing black clothes and white shoes.
• Suspect #2: Male, wearing a light grey hoodie, dark grey pants, black shoes, a white face mask and carrying a duffle bag.
• Suspect #3: White male, wearing a light grey Adidas hoodie, black pants, black shoes, a black face mask and white gloves.
• Suspect #4: Male, wearing black clothing, white shoes and carrying a black duffle bag.
• Suspect #5: Black male, wearing a dark grey hoodie, black pants, white socks, black and white shoes, white gloves and a white face mask.
• Suspect #6: Black male, wearing black clothes, white shoes and white gloves.

Attempted robbery on Saturday

Monday’s failed robbery followed a similar attempt on Saturday.

Six males tried to rob an unnamed jewelry store at Conestoga Mall around 6 p.m. and, just like on Monday, they “fled when a store security guard intervened.”

Police said their car, a grey Honda Civic, had been stolen from Toronto earlier that day. It was later found abandoned outside Waterloo Region.

The suspects in Saturday’s attempted robbery were also similar:

• Suspect #1: Male, wearing a black hoodie, black jogging pants, black face mask, white shoes and white gloves.
• Suspect #2: White male, wearing a grey Adidas hoodie, black pants, black face mask and black shoes. This suspect was the driver of the stolen Civic.
• Suspect #3: Male, wearing a grey hoodie, black jogging pants, black mask, white shoes and black gloves.
• Suspect #4: Male, wearing black clothing.
• Suspect #5: Male, wearing a black jacket with a white fur hood, black pants and black shoes.
• Suspect #6: Male, wearing a black hoodie, black jogging pants, black face mask, white shoes and white gloves.

Police have not commented on any possible links between the two attempted robbery investigations.
