Police catch robbers using truck to slam way into electronics store

CALGARY — Calgary police say they found robbers in a truck trying to batter their way into an electronics store.

They say they saw a pickup truck repeatedly slamming into the Sony store in West Hills Shopping Centre early this morning.

The driver of the pickup truck fled on foot, while an SUV took off.

A police dog tracked the pickup truck driver hiding behind a garbage bin.

Police are still looking for the driver of the SUV.
