A group of armed teenagers stormed a trendy clothing store in Toronto and attempted to rob it, as reported by Daily News. The whole incident was captured on video, including the brave moment when the store staff fought back against the would-be thieves. 

The masked men arrived at the store in Toronto on June 23 and ordered the employees to

“get on the floor.”

While one of the suspects held a gun to a staff member’s head, the other two started stealing clothes and sneakers. However, as they tried to escape, one employee managed to grab one of the armed suspects and wrestle him to the ground.

The other two thieves were able to get away in a stolen car. The remaining staff members then took action against the captured suspect, punching him and disarming him. The teenage bandit tried fighting back and yelled

“let me out”

as he struggled with the staff. 

Just before the thief could make his escape, the Toronto Police Department showed up and arrested the teenager. The young robber is now facing multiple charges, including robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm without authorization, and theft offenses. It is still uncertain how much the stolen goods by the other two thieves were worth. 

The authorities have not yet identified the other suspects and are requesting anyone with information to reach out to the police or Crime Stoppers.
