Gangs of knife-wielding robbers have ransacked two innocent shopkeepers during a series a terrifying attacks caught on camera.

The two raids are believed to have taken place across Surrey and West Yorkshire, and are another damning display of 'Lawless Britain' in action.

Harrowing footage shared on X on Thursday evening appeared to show the heart-stopping moment four thugs held up a small corner shop in Staines, northwest Surrey.

Two men, wearing masks and carrying a large bag, ransacked the cigarette counter while a third man, in a black hoodie, pinned the shopkeeper against a wall at knife point.

A fourth member of the gang, wearing a red bandana and mask, watched from the other side of the counter as the yobs chucked their stolen goods into a large sack.
