The terrible Marsh Gas Band robbery (5,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smash and grab

'robbery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the terrible marsh gas band' is the wordplay.
'the terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'marsh'+'gas'+'band'='marshgasband'
'marshgasband' with letters rearranged gives 'SMASH-AND-GRAB'.

(Other definitions for smash and grab that I've seen before include "that's criminal" , "(Robbery) involving broken window and theft" .)
