This is the moment a gang smashed up an EE shop in a bid to grab the latest iPhones as stunned customers started laughing at them.

Footage surfaced of the raiders storming into the Birmingham City Centre store on Saturday at 3.15pm.

Customers watched in disbelief as half a dozen yobs clad in black burst into the shop in Corporation Street and started smashing up displays to get their hands on the new model iPhones worth more than £1,000.

Shoppers were flabbergasted by the robbers’ failed attempts to rip out the display cases which contained smart pounds worth more than £6,000.

Gangs usually rip the display cases away from their bases and then run off with the phones still attached.
