Halton Regional Police are looking for several suspects after a smash and grab at Mapleview Shopping Centre in Burlington on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.

Several masked bandits targeted the Charm Diamond Centre store at the mall in the Fairview St.-Queen Elizabeth Way mall.

There were no injuries and no suspect descriptions.

It is unclear how much merchandise was stolen.

And cops in Halton are not alone.
