CCTV footage shows a gang committing a smash-and-grab raid on a luxury store in London, one of several that they committed throughout the capital.

A group of men stole over £100,000 of high-end goods whilst targeting seven high-value businesses over four months in 2025.

Footage released by the Metropolitan Police shows a blue Ford Fiesta ramming into the doors of a luxury clothes store on Sloane Street, Kensington. Three suspects entered the building where they stole £8,350 worth of designer goods.

Officers used CCTV footage and forensic work to locate the individuals. On Tuesday (17 March), seven men were sentenced to a total of 22 years after pleading guilty to their respective multiple charges at Kingston Crown Court.
