The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) has made one arrest after the attempted robbery of a jewelry store located in Burlington Centre Mall.

On Monday April 7, 2025, at approximately 4:40 pm four male suspects dressed in all black and armed with hammers entered the mall. The suspects were also wearing face coverings and gloves. As the suspects were walking towards the Peoples Jewellers they were confronted by a lone security guard, and attempted to the flee. The guard was able to successfully arrest one of the males, while three suspects fled in a newer model white Honda Civic. No persons were injured during the attempted robbery and nothing was stolen.

Police attended the scene and took custody of the suspect.

Sangang Dorjee (18) of no fixed address has been charged with the following:

  • Attempt Robbery
  • Disguise with Intent
  • Assault with a Weapon

HRPS investigators have determined the Honda Civic involved in the attempted robbery was also involved in an attempted carjacking last month in Brampton.  On Monday March 31, a group of three suspects attacked a male victim in a parking lot as he attempted to enter his car. The suspects demanded his car keys and cellphone. The male managed to fight the suspects off and they fled in the white Honda Civic.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the 3 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777 ext. 2316.
