This is the moment a gang of criminals trying to rob a phone shop were stopped in their tracks by a quick-thinking staff member who pushed them out and into the arms of baton-wielding undercover cops.

Six men have been sentenced for their part in the attempted robbery on the O2 shop in Borough Parade, Chippenham, Wiltshire.

Police officers were told the store was being targeted by an organised crime group and were already on the scene ready to swiftly intervene.

The footage - a mix of CCTV and body worn video from officers - shows the moment the men raided the store, as panicked customers scrambled to get away.

They then tried to make their escape, but were intercepted by a staff member who successfully shoved them out of the shop where undercover officers were waiting.
