Men wearing burkas rob Toronto jewellery store

Two men wearing burkas — the black garment that totally envelopes some Muslim women — have robbed a jewellery store near York Mills and Leslie Street. It happened last Friday, November 14, 2014, at gunpoint. The men escaped with about $500,000 in jewelry during the five-minute holdup. One suspect was armed with a handgun and forced a woman employee to lock the store’s front door. The robbery took place mid-morning.
