ram raids
Vehicle-assisted store thefts
Ram raids are a form of burglary where thieves drive a vehicle through a storefront—typically smashing through glass doors or windows—to quickly grab merchandise and flee.
The term originated in Britain, where such crimes became common in the 1980s and 1990s.
The jewelry store installed bollards after a series of ram raids in the area.
