There was a robbery happened at the jewellry shop last Sunday afternoon. It was lunchtime. Only a few customers were in the shop. The two masked men dashed to / into / rushed into the shop with their short guns. They ordered the staffs and customers put up their hands behind their heads. They asked the staffs handed over all the jewellery into a big sack.
The staffs were very afraid with shiver. They followed the order by putting jewellery into a big sack. The robbers tied them up with ropes and covered their mouth with cellophane tapes. Later they sped away by motorcycle / on / with a motorcycle with a bag full of jewellery.
They went through the traffic lights / They jumped the lights and hit an oncoming car with a fast speed. They fell off (to the ground) the motorcycle. Both were arrested by the police at /on the spot. They were sent to the police station in a patrol car. It was really breaktaking experience.

I am always confused with purality when it comes to possession.
" They ordered the staff and customers to put their hands behind their heads."
Why do we use pural when referring to the staff and customers' heads? It looks to me that we are suggesting each of them has more than one head.

Do people have more than one head apiece? Do people have heads? Use your common sense and allow your readers to exercise theirs.
