The horrifying incident, which was filmed by a dog walker who happened to be passing by, took place at around 11.45am on Monday, June 24.Footage shows two bikes parked on the landing of the common close before three of the thugs make their way downstairs clutching the stolen goods and a crowbar.

In the footage, the courageous dog walker can be heard telling them: "Drop it, drop it, I would drop it." The woman is instead ignored by the gang as they go on to mount their bikes and flee the scene.
