A duo of brick-wielding thieves smashed a window and looted expensive items from a suit shop.
The two males were caught on CCTV stealing around £6,000 worth of goods that were on display in the window.
It happened today (Oct 24) at 4am at the Batch LDN store, on Commercial Street, Spitalfields, east London.

The footage shows that two men on bikes were scouting out the area before one rode past and left two bricks outside the shopfront.
A police car that patrolled past almost put the thieves off before they made their move.
The two rode over to the shop, smashed the window with the bricks and stuffed their bags full of the expensive items.
There were around 20 items nicked from the store, with 10 suits being taken.
The goods were part of the store’s latest collection that had only been displayed for ten days before the robbery.
The new B06 AW24 line included Herringbone suits that were amongst the items stolen from the shop.
Samuel Matanle, 29, the co-founder of Batch LDN, told Need To Know: “In the space of 20 seconds they had stolen over £6,000 worth of stock.
“When I arrived at the shop in the morning it was just like f*ck, a little part of me was relieved they hadn’t stolen everything.
“It’s going to have a huge impact on sales as we’ll now need to get the suits remade which will take around four weeks.
“Just before 4am, two blokes, one on a white bike and one on a Lime bike came and scouted out the shop ready to make a steal.
“One dropped off two bricks, then they waited around for the perfect moment.
“They were nearly put off by a police car passing, but once the coast was clear they launched the two bricks through the window.
“The police are currently doing a forensics report on the bricks, this type of crime is on the rise in the area.”
The Met Police has been approached for a comment.
