Hidden cameras captured the moment thieves ransacked a home in south London.

Detectives have launched a manhunt after two men were caught on CCTV raiding the living room of a flat in Camberwell, Southwark, last month.

The 35-second clip shows two mens rifle through a suitcase and force clothes and personal items into carrier bags during the break-in, in Grove Lane, around 2pm on February 1.

The first suspect is described as a light skinned man, around 6ft tall.
