This kind of burglaries with ramming cars into shop-windows we also have in Germany, we call it "Blitz-Einbruch". This happens mainly to jewelry-shops, opticians and mobile-phone-shops.
I think, it was getting less the last years, perhaps because some were finally catched.
It was a profession of Polish and Romanian gangsters. They preferred mostly -surely stolen before- Audi's, especially the first A8.
For some shops, which are located at bigger streets, and which easily could be hit by cars, it was a serious problem. Several tried to mount strong steel- or concrete-pilars in front of their shopping-windows, but often this is not possible.
I'm working in the claim department of an insurance company, and I know, that, when these "Blitz-Einbrüche" have increased, we had thrown out a lot of optician-shops and mobile-phone-shops. Jewlry-shops we don't have many as customers - shall other insurances loose their money with them.
