Four crooks on e-bikes teamed up to pinch a stunned man’s phone outside of the £2,250-a-night Mayfair hotel.
The pedestrian was strolling along on the pavement minding his own business.
The mobile stealing gang – all clad in black – then sped up from behind.

It happened outside the five star Grosvenor House Hotel where suites cost up to £2,244 per night.
A shocked labourer heading to work in his van spotted it at 7:10am on 5 November.
He said: “Here they go. look.
“Here they go.
“Look.”
The workman – who recorded it on his dash cam in a 52 second video – added: “They are going to get him.
“Look. Got him.
“Done.” “C*nt.”
Locals reacted with fury at the brazen crime.
Louisa Pearson fumed: “A regular occurrence in London now.”
John Wood said: “Pedestrians need to realise that a sideways kick has a destabilising affect on bicycles.”
Gerald Holmes exclaimed: “Hit them straight off, then accidentally run over them.”
Martin Cole added: “Keep your phone in your pocket.
“Not rocket science.”
The Met Police said the offence hadn’t been reported to them.
Last month, a builder had his phone stolen out of his hand just yards away on Park Lane near The Dorchester Hotel.
Another had his pinched in the same spot last July, also by an e-bike crook, as reported on Need To Know.
