A third member of the gang emptied the till and helped himself to stock while the assault was under way. Two people grabbed Gabriela, threw her on the floor, dragged her and attacked her. ‘One of the robbers took me to the back, grabbed me by the hair, threw me on the floor and slapped me so I would not try to look at him. She said: ‘I did not want them to take me to the back because I felt that would be worse.’ She said: ‘The important thing is that she gets better now and stops being affected by her nerves.’
