Ottawa police are searching for three men in connection to a smash-and-grab robbery at Place d'Orléans.
Officers responded to calls for a robbery in progress at a business in the 1200 block of Place d'Orléans at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
Three men fled the scene in a stolen vehicle, according to the Ottawa Police Service.
Police did not release a description of the three suspects, nor did they release the name of the targeted business.
This is the 10th smash-and-grab robbery in Ottawa since January.
'Three cases have led to charges against five individuals, while several others remain under investigation,' police said in a media release.
'These crimes are bold and often happen in busy mall settings, where suspects wear disguises and use getaway vehicles. Many incidents are captured on bystanders' phones.'
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service's Robbery Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.
On May 9, police responded to a call for a robbery at Michael Hill Jewellers at Place d'Orléans. Video on social media showed three people hammering the display cases.
