The black Nissan Maxima was stolen from Toronto and has since been recovered, police said.
Lornes Katami, who works at a beauty salon next to the jewelry store, said he watched firsthand as the thieves made off with thousands of dollars worth of jewelry."They were hitting very hard, and then they grab the stuff and they just ran away."
