    OPP Investigating Robbery at Collingwood Jewellery Store

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (COLLINGWOOD, ON) – Members of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a robbery that occurred at a downtown Collingwood business.

    On Friday, June 20, 2025, at approximately 5:00 p.m., officers responded to reports of a robbery in progress at a jewellery store located on Hurontario Street. Multiple masked individuals entered the store armed with tools and forcibly removed merchandise before fleeing the scene in a motor vehicle.

    Preliminary investigation suggests the incident involved coordination and a degree of planning. Responding officers secured the scene and began an immediate investigation, supported by witness accounts and video surveillance from several nearby sources. A unit with the OPP’s Central Region Forensic Identification Services attended to assist with the collection and examination of physical evidence.

    Members of the Collingwood OPP Crime Unit have taken over the investigation. Officers are actively pursuing all investigative avenues, including potential links to networked or regional criminal activity.

    The OPP is asking anyone with information or video footage related to this incident to contact the Collingwood OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca.

    In addition, the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP encourage businesses and residents to register their security cameras with the CAMSafe program at www.camsafe.ca. This voluntary registry helps police identify potential video footage during investigations, as seen in recent cases in Collingwood. Police do not have live access to registered cameras, and participants retain full control, providing footage only upon request.
