This is the moment robbers brandishing a sawn-off shotgun threaten terrified staff at a south east London Co-op shop before fleeing with cash from the till.
CCTV captured Scott Smith and Paul Brown charging into the Orpington store before a gun was pointed at two young cashiers.
They then grabbed £200 in cash from the till before making their escape.
The raid on February 13 was one of three armed robberies the pair carried out in the Bromley area.
They first targeted a post office on Crofton Road in Orpington on December 8 last year, when Brown, 38, brandished a handgun and threatened the staff.
As he waved the weapon, Smith, 38, pushed a bag under the security screen and demanded that staff fill it with £695.
Their second robbery took place later that month at a newsagent in the very same road.
This time, Smith was armed with what is believed to have been a sawn-off shotgun and £400 was swiped.
During each raid, Smith and Brown, who are both unemployed, wore a combination of hats and glasses to disguise themselves.
This week, Smith, from Grantham in LIncolnshire, and Brown, of Isabella Drive, Orpington, were found guilty of three counts of armed robbery. They will be sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on August 12.
Detective Sergeant Gary Ferguson, of the Met's Flying Squad, said: “We were determined to catch Smith and Brown quickly as their crimes included serious threats of extreme violence towards innocent members of the public.
“I am delighted that the danger they posed to public safety has now been averted by their imprisonment. I have no doubt that, had they not been arrested so quickly, they would have gone on to commit further offences.”
