Motorcycle Heist!

In London on November 8, 2012 civilians were simply shopping in their local mall when suddenly me on motorcycles carrying axes and baseball bats come smashing through windows and glass doors. They threatened a security officer and told him to back down then proceed to the most expensive jewelry store and steal as much as they can carry and in just 2 minutes are in and out of there. As they left people ran after them but couldn’t catch them, then on the street when they smashed more windows to get out someone kicked them while they were on the motorcycle yet they still got away.

They call these kinds of robberies a “Smash and Dash” but in this case it would be a “Motorcycle Smash and Dash!” Many witnesses’ were interviewed on the incident and most said similar things! “I could only hear people screaming and the cashier they were forcing to give them the cash was hysterical and just kept crying!” one man said. A photographer happened to capture some video as they were getting away. Their bikes were found the following day but the thieves were nowhere in sight!

Wow that’s insane! I would be so scared if I was there especially if I was the clerk! I wonder why the security guard didn’t have any kind of weapon or didn’t even stand his ground and try and fight?! What do you guys think?

Here is the linkto the CNN site where I found it and below is the actual video!

  • That's terrible! They couldnt even fight back because of the motorcycles and their weapons. I would be extremely scared if i had to witness this.

  • What I find amazing about things like this is that they managed to get away even with cameras everywhere..

  • WOW! That is scary. I hope that they can find the robbers soon. I would be terrified if I was one of the shoppers or security guard, or a clerk. Don't malls have security cameras they can look on to get the motorcycle license plates? Maybe the robbers used motorcycles they had in their names. Not everyone is that smart!
  • That's terrible. But I kind of Blame laws in great Brittan for some of this Because unlike the US Guns arnt exactly legal there. and how do you think this would have turned out if the owner of the jewelry store was are or even the security guard? I don't think it would have ended in the robbers favor.

  • Wow that would be super scary! People do some weird things to rob. This is crazy! I would not want to be there when it was getting robbed!

  • I would not know what to think, or do for that matter! I mean, these days people are so unpredictable. I guess, i just hope no one was to hurt. I think this is very scary! I just hope they find the people who did this. Don't do the crime if your not prepared to do the time!

  • That's crazy! I can't believe they got away with that and no one caught them! I hope they get caught soon.

  • I think that the these guys were smart because you can hide a motorcycle a lot easier than you can a car but really smash in and take the jewelry REALLY im sure that they didn't get very much and half of it probably fell out of the ride to get away.

  • This is so scary! I don't know what i would do if this happened to me! I never thought they would come in on motorcycles.

  • honestly i find that really scary! you would never think of a motorcycle gang crashing into your store and robbing it. I feel sorry for that store owner simply because he has an entirely new kind of things he has to worry about security wise.
