A cocky shoplifter who brazenly helped himself to clothing before strolling out of stores has been caught by police.
CCTV footage shared by the Met shows a hooded man casually giving staff a thumbs up before pulling a clothes stand and walking off the store with what appears to be a jumper.
In another clip, a man with a bag calmly picks up a cream puffer jacket and exits the store without challenge.
A third video shows a man in a blue beanie grabbing items from shelves in front of what looks like a stunned member of staff. When someone tries to stop him, he simply walks away.
The clips, edited into a compilation with jokey background music, then cut to police bodycam footage showing officers arresting a man. It’s not clear if he appears in all the shoplifting clips.
