Newly-released footage shows the moment a group of armed teenagers stormed a trendy Toronto clothing store and attempted to rob the place, but were quickly chased away by staff.

The three mask-wearing male suspects were seen arriving at the clothing and sneaker store on June 23 and demanding that the employees 'get down on the floor.'

As one of the suspects held a gun to a staff member's head, the other two quickly began to run away with a rack of clothing and sneaker boxes.

But an employee was able to catch one of the suspects, aged 15, and keep him from running away while the other two thieves got back into their stolen car and drove away.

After a few minutes of struggle, video shows two staff members punching and throwing the suspect's gun away.

But soon enough, they begin to hold the teen back as he tries to run out of the store yelling: 'Let me out!'

While cornered, the robber picks up a sneaker, tears the plastic and starts bending the front to create a crease - damaging its quality and sale value in the process.

But at that moment, deputies from the Toronto Police Department arrived at the scene and took the teenager and his loaded handgun away.

He has been charged with Robbery With Firearm, Use Firearm in Commission of Offence, Unauthorized Possession Firearm, Unauthorized Possession of Firearm Knowing its Possession is Unauthorized, Possession Loaded Firearm, Point Firearm, Disguise With Intent, Possession Property Obtained by Crime Over and Fail to Comply Release Order.

The value of the goods stolen by the other two robbers remains unclear.
