Shocking mobile phone footage has surfaced of the moment an armed moped gang robbed a luxury jewellers in Knightsbridge.

The raiders were armed with a sledgehammer as they descended on Boodles in Knightbridge at just after 10.30am this morning.

The thugs smashed their way through display counters, with three of the six-strong gang remaining outside on watch.
