Yahoo Finance Watch burglars buzzsaw their way into Stamford Hill silver shop making off with £60k worth of Hanukkah menorahs
This is the moment four burglars use a circular saw to break into a silver shop making off with £60,000 worth of jewellery and Hanukkah menorahs ahead of the Jewish holiday.
CCTV captures four balaclava-clad crooks getting out of an Audi in Stamford Hill and breaking open the steel shutters with a fired-up circular saw at 3.20am on Thursday.
The organised gang are seen on interior CCTV smashing the glass entrance of the silver shop and using head torches to spot the valuables in the pitch black shop.
The brazen thieves rush to fill large plastic bags with solid silver menorahs and other items before speed off along the pavement in a getaway car.
A Shomrim spokesman, who shared the footage online, told the Standard: “The Silver shop had lots of Hanukkah Menorahs for the Jewish Festival coming up next month.
“The owner said approximately £60k worth of items were taken.”
A Met spokeswoman said: “Police were called at 03:24hrs on Thursday October 28 to reports of a burglary at a commercial premises on Stamford Hill, Hackney.
“A number of solid silver objects were taken.
“There have been no arrests, enquiries continue.”
Anyone who witnessed this incident or has information should call police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting CAD799/28OCT.
