Four men are in custody after a smash and grab robbery at a London jewellery store.
London police were called a Gordon's Gold Jewellers at 760 Hyde Park Rd. just before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. According to police, a car pulled up to the front of the store and two men wearing masks went into the store.

The men took what police are calling a "significant amount of jewellery" and then got back in the car and took off.
Responding officers followed the car to a location on River Road in the Oneida of the Thames First Nation. With help from the OPP, Strathroy-Caradoc police, and Oneida of the Thames police, four men were taken into custody.
Police have not said if charges have been laid. The investigation is ongoing.
