The footage shows the suspect casually entering the care home before swiftly grabbing the bag and fleeing the scene. The manager, who was attending to residents at the time, was left shaken by the audacious crime.
Community Outrage
Local residents and care home staff have expressed their anger over the incident, with many calling for improved security measures in the area. "It's appalling that someone would target a place dedicated to caring for vulnerable people," said one staff member.
Police Investigation
Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses. "We're reviewing all available footage and following several leads," a police spokesperson stated. Officers believe the thief may have been watching the care home before striking.
