Four teenagers have been arrested after a vehicle was driven into a jewelry store in Montreal’s Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough in what police describe as an attempted robbery.
Montreal police said officers were called to the corner of Fleury Street and Curotte Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. Monday after receiving multiple reports of a crash.
Investigators say the suspects used a sport utility vehicle to smash into the jewelry store in an apparent break-in attempt. The group then fled the scene in another vehicle.

The investigation remains ongoing.
