THIS is the shocking moment a gang of hooded teens ransack JD Sports in a shoplifting spree on Halloween.
The youths, many covering their faces with masks, stormed into the London store – grabbing clothes before making a run for it.
Video footage was later shared on social media with the caption “lil kids moving mad nowadays” after the raid on the Tottenham Retail Park store on October 31.
And the same account earlier shared a photograph of two people posing with their faces covered just before the rampage.
Bystanders were seen shocked as dozens of youngsters poured into the store – running out with armfuls of gear.
Police are now investigating, and are expected to seize CCTV as part of the probe.
It comes after the eight worst areas for violent youth crime was revealed earlier this year – including Westminster, Haringey and Southwark.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned violence had become “normalised” for some youngsters.
Met Police confirmed they had been called to the store after a “large number” of people stormed inside about 7.30pm on October 31.
They said: “Those involved are believed to have stolen clothing and other items before running away.
“Officers will be attending the scene to seize CCTV, we are aware of footage online.”
JD Sports said it would not comment on an ongoing police matter.
