I was reading an old story:
"Inspector Diane Groomes of the 3rd Police District, who was on the scene early today, said members of the group also broke out the windows of some restaurants and at least one bank in the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Columbia Road, a popular strip of restaurants and clubs."
"Broke the windows" is understandable enough for me. But what does "out" add to "broke"?
