On Wednesday, Jan. 18, three men attempted to rob Knarr Jewelry on Cornwall Road at Olde Oakville Market Place. Dressed in black, they tried to force their way in through the front of the store. At least one of the suspects was armed.

The interior door, however, could only be unlocked from the inside.

Upon seeing his weapon, the suspects left the store and fled the area in a grey sedan.
