Ignore what some others are saying. There is a "splash and grab" type of robbery. Here is an excerpt that tells about it. Read the link for further info.
PHILADELPHIA - Police in the Philadelphia area are on the lookout for two men who’ve come up with a different method for robbing convenience stores: They call it the “splash and grab.”
Police say one of the robbers buys a coffee or hot chocolate and then throws the drink in the cashier’s face while his accomplice scoops the money from the cash register.
The robbers actually splash something in the victim's face then grab the cash or whatever they want to steal.

Yeah, I have to agree with Wayfarout. The term that I've always heard is "smash and grab" and not only with thieves smash display cases and run off with the contents, they will sometimes steal a car and drive it through the front window of a shop(the smash) and then run off on foot with as much loot as they can carry(the grab). Some people have no shame.

Well guys i know it as smash and grab.What the robbers does is targeting woman drivers at red robots, smash the side window of the car grab there bags and run in the opposite direction. Women beware of this don't put your bags on the seats but rather under the seat or in the boot of the car.

I always heard smash or slash.
Basically, a few guys run into a store, smash a display case with expensive stuff in it, grab what they can, and run. They hope that no one can stop them (they leave the store before many people know what's going on), and that the police won't find them, even though they are on camera.

The phrase is SLASH and grab, not "splash". It refers to the practice of cutting a purse strap, or slashing through the material of a purse or backpack, in order to grab the bag or its contents in a hurry.

It's "smash" and grab. Cars smash into store windows and then get out and grab what they can. I hear it on the news all the time. Sad.

I have heard of smash and grab. Like when somebody rams a store with there vehicle and steals as much as they can real quick and takes off.

This is a new term, that was recently brought about my a couple that was ordering coffee. They would Splash the cashier with the hot coffee, and grab the money out of the till.
