An armed gang have been filmed smashing their way into a newsagent in Barnet in order to raid the cigarette cabinet.

The footage, released by police, shows two of the men forcefully breaking their way into the cigarette stand behind the counter.

The four suspects, all described as males in their 20s, stole large quantities of tobacco from the shop before leaving the scene on mopeds.
