Three brazen thieves jumped over the counter of an Asda petrol station store and stole alcohol and cigarettes leaving shoppers open-mouthed.

The carefree crooks filled up bags of booze and fags before casually walking out.

Supermarket workers and security guards stood and watched the gang swipe the goods.

One then made a phone call to report the theft to cops.

One stunned shopper said: “They are doing what they got to do.

“I just came to get petrol.”

He then added: “Why aren’t they stopping them?

“F*cking hell.”

The raid took place on the Asda Express in the Texaco garage on Wandsworth Road, Battersea, south London.

It happened on Monday (30 Dec) evening, as reported on Need To Know.

It occurred the same day it was announced that London Mayor Sadiq Khan would become a Sir in the New Years Honours list.

It follows a spate of shoplifting last year amid the cost-of-living-crisis.

One local – named Nicole – joked: “At least the Mayor of London got knighthood.”

Another added: “London is lawless now.”

Steve Thomas said: “Would like the right to carry a firearm in the UK.”
