The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring,
roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jewelers. 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. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of
the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy
statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in
three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it
was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to
stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds
worth of diamonds.
