[00:17.37]The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. [00:23.48]At this time of the morning,the arcade was almost empty. [00:27.84]Mr.Taylor,the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. [00:34.17]Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock [00:38.33]and had only just finished. [00:40.85]Diamond necklaces and rings [00:42.89]had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. [00:47.23]After gazing at the display for several minutes,Mr.Taylor went back into his shop. [00:54.43]The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, [00:58.54]with its headlights on and its horn blaring,roared down the arcade. [01:04.01]It came to a stop outside the jeweller's. [01:07.43]One man stayed at the wheel [01:09.49]while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out [01:13.95]and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. [01:18.13]While this was going on,Mr.Taylor was upstairs. [01:22.41]He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. [01:26.59]Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. [01:30.35]One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, [01:33.90]but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. [01:38.84]The raid was all over in three minutes, [01:42.09]for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. [01:48.32]Just as it was leaving, [01:50.43]Mr.Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, [01:55.65]but it was impossible to stop the thieves. [01:59.19]They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
