Smashed and grab

An expansive shop on the famous arcade near the Patacilly was just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor , the owner of the jewellery shop, was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistance had been working since 8 o'clock and had just finished. Diamonds necklaces and rings were beautifully arranged on the background of the black velvet. After gazing at the window for several minutes,Mr Taylor went back into his shop.Then,the silence was suddenly broken when a large car with it's headlight on and it's horn blaring,roared down the arcade. The car came to a stop outside the shop.One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. Just as this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his assistance thrown the furniture outside the window. Chairs and tables were flying into the arcade. One man of the thieves was struck by a heavy statues,but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain.The raid was all over three minutes and the thieves scrambled back into their car  and it moved off at a fantastic speed. When the car was leaving,Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after the car throwing the astray and vases. But it was impossible to stop the thieves.
