Shocking CCTV has captured the moment a group of raiders broke into a magic shop.

Adam Smith, the owner of AJ Magic in Southborough, tweeted the video after watching the footage.

The break-in happened around 4am yesterday. It was reported to police that an iMac was stolen.

It shows a group of people walking past the London Road store before one of them smashes the window in. It's thought they used the metal inside of a council bin.

One person then runs in and grabs the computer, with two others standing at the broken door to watch.

Something spooks them and they drop the item and run off, before returning moments later to get the monitor.

Mr Smith, 45, who has been running the shop with his girlfriend Jaclyn Rose, 32, for just over a year, received a call from police to say his shop had been broken into at 4.30am.

They rushed round to find the carnage inside. It's thought that the culprits drop the iMac as leads were still connected to the back of it.

The couple, who run regular events at the store, have no idea why anyone would have done this.

The computer was later retrieved nearby by police. Inquiries are ongoing to locate the culprits.
