Footage shows gang making off with over £100k worth of vapes

Shocking footage shows a gang breaking into a family wholesale store - making off with around £100,000 worth of vapes.

CCTV from the wholesalers in Chatham, Kent, shows up to ten masked thieves breaking in and disabling alarms - in what has been described as a 'targeted' attack on the family-run business.

The heartbroken owner - who wishes to remain anonymous - says his family has been left terrified and his wife has since struggled to sleep at night.

CCTV shows the thieves - who were said to have been armed - entering the unit, having cut through the outside fences and the wall of the store, before rushing to turn the alarm and sensors off.

A white van pulls up outside the front gates before ramming it backwards and forcing it open.

The gang are then seen packing the stolen goods into the back.

The owners of the wholesalers, who have run the business for 12 years and moved to this site six years ago, say they feel like a decade of hard work has gone to waste.

They also believe they were targeted in the robbery and have since heard about people selling their products on Chatham High Street.
