A masked crook breaks into a kid’s petting farm to steal just £100 from the office.

The heartless burglar smashed a window to get it.

He was captured on a CCTV camera inside the building.

The man – wearing a Covid-19 style facemask – was seen rummaging around, looking on shelves and in envelopes.

He even looks directly at the camera without realising he’s been caught in the act.

Cops are hunting the crook.

It is the FOURTH time that Stepney City Farm, in Stepney, east London has been burgled in less than a year.

As well as the cash being stolen, glass was left strewn across a desk in the office.

The break-in happened at 2am on Wednesday (21 Feb).

A Stepney City Farm spokesperson said: “This man decided to smash our window and burgle the farm office.

“We’re sure he must be local to Stepney.

“This is the fourth time in less than a year, despite us spending precious charity resources on increased security measures.”

The spokesperson added: “He can only have got £100 or so.

“But we now have a wasted day organising repairs and dealing with insurance, not to mention the violation of our space.

“If you recognise this man, please contact the police.”

One local – named James – fumed: “For f*cks sake.

“What are you stealing at a community farm?”
