The owner’s mother then noticed what was going on and locked the front door to the milk bar, trapping the thieves inside.

“She was very brave to stand there and when they come back to try and get through the door, she’s still standing there and she could be dead,” a witness said.

Failing to find another way to escape, the armed group tried to smash open the front door.
