Initial Release - April 25, 2025:

Suspects Sought After Robbery At Harmony House Jewellers – Grimsby

On April 24, 2025, at 11:25am the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) Communications Unit received a 9-1-1 call regarding a robbery that just occurred at Harmony House Jewellers, located on Main Street West in the Town of Grimsby.  Uniform patrol officers assigned to 8 District (Grimsby / Lincoln / West Lincoln) were immediately dispatched and responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, officers learned 5 suspects arrived at the location inside a black Dodge Ram pickup truck that was intentionally reversed into the stores front window to gain access.  The 4 passengers exited the truck and brandished hammers and axes and proceeded to break glass cases within the store to gain access to jewelry and watches.  The driver of the pickup truck exited and proceeded across the street to an unoccupied parked white Honda CRV.  This vehicle was used by all 5 suspects to flee the scene.  As the suspects were attempting to drive off, a firearm was pointed at an individual attempting to stop the escape.  The firearm is described as a black handgun with a narrow silver barrel.

Harmony House Jewellers was open at the time of the incident and occupied by several employees.  Fortunately, none of the employees received any physical injuries as a result of this robbery.

Detectives assigned to the 8 District Criminal Investigative Branch (CIB) attended the scene and assumed carriage of the investigation.  They are being supported by detectives assigned to the Forensic Services Unit (FSU).  Investigation has since determined the Dodge Ram pickup truck was stolen in London, Ontario on January 10th, 2025, and the Honda CRV was stolen in Toronto, Ontario on April 23rd, 2025.  The CRV used to flee the scene was located by the Hamilton Police Service on Baseline Road near the North Service Road, in the City of Hamilton a short time after the robbery.  The vehicle was unoccupied.  A witness has since come forward to report the suspects were observed exiting the CRV and entering an awaiting pickup truck.

All 5 suspects are described as adult men in their 20’s, with medium builds, and of average height.  The ethnicity of one of the suspects is believed to be white.  The ethnicity of the other four suspects is unknown at this time.  All suspects wore dark colored clothing and concealed their identity with blue surgical style face masks.  The items stolen and value of the items remains part of the ongoing investigation.

Detectives are aware of the videos and images that are circulating online.  Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or taken videos/pictures are strongly encouraged to contact the lead detective by dialing 905-688-4111, option 3, extension #1009383 or by email at 9383@niagarapolice.ca.
