This is the moment a pair of uninvited guests attempt to steal a moped.
The would-be thieves were caught on CCTV in the driveway of a Dagenham home struggling together to cut through the scooter’s lock on June 1.
But after about 20 seconds of trying the pair are thwarted and make off empty-handed.
A Met spokesperson said: “We were called at 11.25pm. Two suspects made off and the bike wasn’t stolen.”
Among a range of security measures, the Met Police recommends using a disc, grip or D lock, chaining the bike to an object that can’t be moved and covering it up.
