This is the moment £500,000 worth of designer goods were stolen from a West London store by three men.

The video shows them dressed in black smashing through the front window and stealing the luxury items inside the Sellier store in Belgravia.

Two of the men can be seen breaking into the store and taking as much as they could.

This included clothes and other luxury items that were all stuffed into duffel bags before they left the shop.

The third man was waiting outside on a motorbike, ready to whisk the pair off with the stolen goods.

Store owner Hanushka Toni said: ‘This is absolutely devastating for our business.

‘We’ve spent the last five years building Sellier from the ground up amidst a challenging economic environment, and a £500,000 loss will be a huge hit on our business for months to come.

‘I’m appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time or have any other information to please get in touch so we can hold those responsible.’

‘They broke through the glass and got inside the Belgravia store. They took everything they could.

‘The police came five minutes later, there was blood everywhere and they are doing forensics right now on all the evidence.
