Sounds like another store got hit with a similar attack and stopped it with a sword. "The owner of another jewelry store just 100 metres away also ended an attempted robbery using a sword in July." This led to a friend of the owner giving them a bunch of swords as a gift. The cops, of course, are discouraging them from this sort of preventative measure because, in clown world, everyone should just let crime happen.
