Bikers Robbing a Jewelry Store Caught on Camera by CNN Team

Things don't always go according to plan and the unexpected can often happen. Thus, a CNN team went on Oxford Street in London for a book release but soon after, they discovered they were witnesses to a robbery.

The CNN team composed of reporter Sasha Herriman and cameraman Peter Kavanagh was concentrating on the book release when four people riding two motorbikes appeared in the scene. At first, it wasn't clear what was happening and everybody was confused because of the noise.

"As we were filming we heard a couple of motorbikes revving their engines loudly and saw a crowd forming. We couldn't tell what was happening at first," said  Kavanagh. "We saw the men yelling at the crowd and gesturing for them to stay back. Then they ran out of the store, climbed on their bikes and sped off," he added.

However, shortly after, the mystery was solved. The guys who were wearing helmets to hide their identity smashed  the window of a jewelry shop and stole valuable items before running away.

"As they went past, I zoomed in to get a clear shot. I noticed one of the passengers on the bikes was carrying a fistful of watches,"  Kavanagh explained.

The noise made by the motorbikes provided the perfect cover for the thieves and their plan seemed quite well-thought. It was the sledgehammer that gave them away.

"Afterwards we went over to the store and saw the glass from smashed cabinets and the sledgehammer lying on the ground. Most witnesses cleared off, but a few who had taken photos came forward," said Kavanagh.

Cops came immediately at the scene but so far the bikers have not yet been identified. Equally, it not yet known how much the stolen items valued. It looks like their plan worked really well since the four robbers can still breathe the air of freedom.
