Thieves visited the store twice for vapes (4 photos + 1 video)
A gang of thieves attacked a London shop owner and stole vapes, before returning 48 hours later. The first incident took place at the store on Charing Cross Road, Leicester Square, UK, late on March 3. A group of people broke into the premises and began kicking and punching the man. The criminals returned for a second time on March 5 and stole more e-cigarettes. 
The footage from the first robbery shows teenagers rushing into the store. The tallest of them approaches the counter where the vapes are kept and tells the seller that he just wants to “take a look.” The situation escalates when another young man appears. The gang begins to beat the worker, and when he ends up on the floor, they grab the box and run. 
During the second robbery, the criminals stole several more packages of vapes.
A police spokesman said: "We are investigating two reports of robberies at a shop in Leicester Square. The same group of young men, all in their 20s, are behind both crimes. No arrests have been made so far and the investigation is ongoing."
