Three brazen thieves targeted the same branch of Greggs in north London, stealing food and drinks within 20 minutes of each other.

The trio, who came in individually, were caught on video by a shocked onlooker as they struck one after the other at the bakery on Junction Road, Archway, on Monday.

One man came in and picked up three containers of hot food and two drinks from the fridge.

He was confronted by an employee, but ignored her calls to stop.

The female worker said: ‘Get out, right now.’

The shoplifter replied: ‘I don’t know about right now, but in a second I will.’

As he walked out, he cheekily added: ‘Cheers love.’ 

The staff member said: ‘Can you take a picture of him please?’ 

Just minutes later, a second thief picked up an armful of hot food boxes.

He briefly looked around him before casually walking out.

Then, a third man quickly nipped in and swiped two drinks from the fridge, before scarpering.

The incidents all happened between 2:50pm and 3:10pm on Monday.

One witness said: ‘They were brazen and helping themselves to anything in the shop.

The footage, uploaded to TikTok, came with a question: "Daylight robbery at Greggs. Who do we blame for this mess?"
