The terrifying moment a group of armed teenagers burst into a fashion clothing store and attempted to rob the place has been captured on video, as well as the moment staff bravely turned the tables on would-be robbers.
The three masked men were filmed arriving at the clothing and sneaker store in Toronto on June 23 and demanding employees “get on the ground.”
While one of the suspects holds a gun to a staff member’s head, the other two attempted to strip the store of clothing racks and take away his sneakers.
However, when they try to flee the store, an employee incredibly manages to grab one of the armed suspects and throw him to the ground.
The other two robbers managed to flee the store and escape in a stolen car.
The three male suspects wearing masks were seen breaking into the clothing and sneaker store and demanding that employees “get on the ground.”
The video shows two staff members punching the suspect before dropping his weapon.
The two staff members then went to work on the suspect they had caught, punching him repeatedly and throwing away his gun.
The teenage thief tries to defend himself, yelling “let me out” as he struggles with the cane.
While cornered, the thief strangely takes a sneaker and begins to destroy it.
Then, moments before the thief also flees, the Toronto Police Department arrives on the scene and arrests the teenager.
While cornered, the thief takes a sneaker, tears the plastic and folds the front to create a crease, damaging its quality and sales value in the process.
Toronto Police Department officers soon arrived on the scene and took the teen and his loaded gun away.
The teenage thief has been charged with eight crimes, including robbery with a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm and theft.
The value of the goods stolen by the other two thieves is still unclear.
Officials have not yet identified the other two suspects and have asked anyone with information to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
