One wearing a Nike hoodie and a Covid-19-style facemask walked up first.

He was then handed the metal crowbar by one of his accomplices.

The crook then attempted to force the door open before he was disturbed by the pensioner Asian victim.

The victim shouted: “Hey, yo.”

But it did not deter the gang of young me.

He then smashed the door with the tool SIX times and ripped a hole in the door as wood chips were seen flying off.

The elderly man shouted: “Stop it, oi, oi.”

The group of men could be seen fleeing in the 52-second long Ring doorbell footage.

It happened at 12:33am on Friday (15 Mar) in Camberwell, south London.

Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie are among well-known people who live in the area.

One local said: “Praying on the elderly, has got to be one of the most low life things you could ever do.”
