In a failed jewelry store robbery in Markham, five individuals, including three teenagers, have been charged. The incident took place on Saturday, involving suspicious vehicles and individuals wearing ski masks and carrying tools outside the closed store. Law enforcement utilized helicopter surveillance to catch the suspects as they attempted to flee. The accused include two adults and three teen boys, highlighting the trend of older individuals recruiting youths for such crimes due to leniency in juvenile sentencing laws.
"There were numerous people that had been seen in a parking lot wearing ski masks, carrying sledgehammers [and] garbage bags walking around."
"Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, they know [teens are] not necessarily going to receive as harsh penalties as an adult would."
