Birmingham, UK Jewelry Store Robbery in Broad Daylight, Truck Smashes the Window & Axe Weilding Thug Provides Cover

Via Birmingham Mail:
One axe-wielding thug was filmed running down the busy street and goading local traders as his masked accomplices raided Danyaal Jewellers

This is the astonishing moment a gang of masked raiders smashed their way into a jewellers on a major city route. Dramatic footage from the scene showed the armed men plough a large Highways maintenance truck into Danyaal Jewellers in Ladypool Road, Sparkbrook.

The balaclava-clad robbers could be seen reversing at speed into the shop front, shattering the glass, at around midday on Thursday afternoon, March 3. During the chaos, one thug dressed all in black could be seen running down the street towards the store wielding an axe in his hand.

The armed man was then seen goading a brave onlooker who continued to film the drama unfolding in front of him from a grocery store across the street. He aggressively shouted: "What, what, what, get the f*** in the shop, get in your shop" before shop workers discussed whether anyone had called the police.

The brazen thug then stepped onto the rubble left behind from the raid as he appeared to wait at the entrance for his accomplices. Thick plumes of smoke poured into the busy street, which was filled with witnesses, filming traders and stunned onlookers.
