EDMONTON – One person is in custody and two other suspects are being sought after a midday robbery at an Edmonton jewelry store.
Police say shortly before 12:30 p.m. officers were called to Southgate Mall for reports that several suspects had tried to rob the jewelry store, pepper spraying the area.
Mall employees say about a dozen people were pepper-sprayed when the masked thieves came in.
Shoppers were cleared out so Edmonton Fire Rescue Services could ventilate the wing of the mall that was pepper-sprayed.
EPS says a man is in custody and investigators are looking for the other two suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to call police or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
