Two thieves stole booze from a fridge in front of a shop assistant and coolly walked out without paying.
CCTV showed one of the men chatting at the counter to the worker while the other raided the fridge.
He appeared to be discussing scent with the yellow-coated woman assistant.
Meanwhile, his shorts-wearing accomplice grabbed bottles before handing two of them to the other man who had joined him at the fridge.
The pair of them then casually walked away from the counter with the five stolen bottles as the startled woman chased after them.
She appears to shout “Are you taking it?” as the men disappear from view.
The 30-second footage ended with the sound of two door chimes indicating the pair had left the shop as reported by Need To Know.
It was filmed in Bromley-by-Bow, east London, on Sunday (11 May)
It is similar to another case in the same area on May 4.
In that instance, a thief pinched booze from a counter while the shop assistant had her back turned.
The store worker was bagging up two bottles of alcohol in a blue carrier bag for a customer.
As she turned to grab a bottle of Grey Goose vodka, the brazen thief reached over the counter and grabbed the bag.
Wearing a navy hoodie, the man made his escape in front of shocked shoppers.
The member of staff chased after him while shouting at him to stop.
That theft was also captured on CCTV.
Local, Steve Smith, said: “Who would be a shopkeeper nowadays?”
Helen Jeffries added: “Scum.”
Tony O’Hussein added: “Tower Hamlets fell a long time ago.”
The Met Police has been approached for comment.
