This is the moment thieves stole a van and took their masks off - not realising that there was a hidden camera recording their every move. Video footage released by West Midlands Police show the hapless trio on film in an allegedly stolen Vauxhall Combo van on January 8. Unknown to the gang, a secret camera hidden in the cab recorded them as they sped away from the owner's house in the West Midlands. The men, who had taken the precaution of wearing masks to disguise their faces during the raid, took them off as they drove away.
