When I was in Britain a few years ago, there was an article in the paper about a bunch of guys who rushed out of a car outside an off-licence (that's a liquor store), bearing guns and clubs and rushed the door. After a number of minutes of trying to get in and failing, during which time the clerk had called the police, the police arrived and arrested them.
The clerk said, when interviewed, "I'm just glad they tried to get in the exit and didn't try the entrance."
