Okay, so I have to ask. If the store was open for business why didn't they just walk through the door instead of wasting a couple minutes breaking the glass in broad daylight on a busy street ? Guess it proves that criminals aren't the sharpest swords in the armory or the jewelry store for that matter.

Obviously because
A) the door was locked B) the thieves knew this ahead of time
Elsewhere a commenter suggests that customers need to be 'buzzed in' to the store. I don't jewelry shop in TO so I can't say kf that's commonly a thing.
Personally, I wonder if they were actually open. The article references 'a customer' but both men seen at the start of the video grab swords. Did they arm the 'customer' or were they all staff/owners? If the latter perhaps they were closed for lunch?
Who knows?
Suffice it to say, the criminals arrived with a plan to break the glass so it seems more reasonable to assume that the door was locked rather than that they were so monumentally stupid as to not just use the open door.

Eek, three workers with cutlass/scimitar type short swords. Looked like one of the would be thieves had a handgun but decided to scram rather than shoot everyone, which he'd need to do because nobody was backing down and you would have to crawl through that window.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA that made me laugh seeing them all rush out with cutlasses! These fellows need some nice antiques to use in their line of work.

Little town next where I live, the local jewelry store's door is always locked and you need to get buzzed in. If these thieves wanted to go in masked and armed, breaking a window was likely the only way to go for them.
