The moment a group of thieves fled the scene of a brazen daylight smash-and-grab in Auckland has been captured on video.
Police were called to the Westfield Albany mall just before 7pm Friday after "a number of people were seen going into a store with weapons".
New footage shows the group fleeing the scene in a silver car, dressed in black hoodies and masks.
At least one appears to be carrying a hammer and others are holding bags.
