The shocking moment a group of men broke into a designer store and stole £1m worth of goods has been caught on camera.
It’s believed three people were involved in the theft, which saw the ultra-lux Hermès brand targeted.
In the clip, they can be seen stood outside a glass door, before attempting to smash their way in.

Two of the thieves open up empty bags, while the other one shatters the door.
All of them then make their way to the next door, bashing it with a large, blunt object.
Another clip shows inside the store, where they frantically make their way around, collecting their loot.
Bagging them into sacks, the group quickly make a run for it to avoid getting caught.
On the way out, though, one of them makes a little pit stop to steal a final item.
It’s believed they first broke in at 7:33am and left a mere five minutes later, as reported by Need To Know.
The heist took place on 30 November 2024 at the Ginza Xiaoma shop, a luxury goods resale store located in Hong Kong.
An investigation allegedly found that the trio stole 66 Hermès handbags worth HK0m (£1m).
A spokesman for Ginza Xiaoma said: “We deeply apologise for the distress and inconvenience caused to our customers and assure […] that we are doing everything in our power to handle this matter and safeguard the rights of all consignment customers.
“We have provided complete surveillance footage and relevant evidence to the authorities and will continue to cooperate fully to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice promptly.
“Immediately following the incident, we conducted a comprehensive inventory check to verify the status of all consigned items, ensuring that our customers’ rights are fully protected.
“We pledge to compensate affected consignment customers 100% of the contracted value of their stolen goods.”
The store also promised to give compensation for any damaged goods as a result of the theft and to enhance safety measures going forward, including creating a dedicated customer support team.
