...police later reconstructed it, one man got out of the car, cut the padlock on the store's outer wicket gate, then picked the lock on the inner door. That done, three more of the gang got out and went into the store with him, while a fifth accomplice put a new padlock on the gate to allay the suspicions of any passing policemen.
