The CCTV image shows two men running towards Ashoka Jewellers in Wolverhampton ahead of the daytime attack. A third man at the scene kept watch as the two men repeatedly battered shop's front window with the weapons before making off with £600 of silver jewellery. The store's terrified owner and a customer cowered in a back room during the raid, which took place at 12.45pm on Tuesday. The gang emptied a display case of its contents of necklace, six baby bangles and five rings in the raid which took just 25 seconds. West Midlands Police said the men fled in the direction of nearby Hordern Road. It is the fourth raid on the store in three years. Shop owner Ashok Khurmi, aged 57, says the attack has left him scared and devastated. "You can see from the CCTV pictures how crazy this is," he said. "I was talking to a customer at the front desk when I saw the two men run up and start banging on the windows. "I ran into the back of the shop with my customer to get away from what was happening. "I even injured my arm by knocking up against the door. "It was only when we looked at the CCTV that I saw they were using hammers. "It was a terrible shock for me, the whole thing was absolutely terrifying."
