We don't know about the laws in Canada, but these jewelry store thieves seemed surprised when security guards showed up during their smash-and-grab and actually arrested them. 

The video was filmed at a White Carat Co. in Brampton Ontario, and at least two thieves can be seen wielding hammers, smashing cases, and trying their best to make an escape as security guards close in on their location, trapping them in the store before tackling them to the ground. 

The trend of seeing thieves smash-and-grab before getting away must just be an American trend, because most of the comments were shocked that the security guards actually did something, one user commenting, "Never seen security guards actually stop a robbery." 

So let this be a lesson that crime doesn't pay, unless, of course, you commit a crime in the lower 48.
