Police hunt brazen trio filmed ripping expensive electronics from Currys store

This is the moment three men appear to rip expensive electronics from display stands in a Currys store.

The trio, whose faces are not covered, parade around the store in Orpington, south-east London, picking up the items despite the blaring alarm.

A bystander recorded the group, who left with mobile phones and electronic items, picking up the goods on their phone and it was posted to Facebook group Orpington Gossip.

One of the men can be seen gesturing at the person filming the raid, who continues recording, undeterred.

They rip out items from the display stands as shoppers watch on.
