These are the dramatic videos as staff fought off raiders who tried to steal £25,000 motorbikes from a London showroom - but fled empty-handed.

Two gangsters wearing helmets walked into the In-Moto showroom in Croydon, and began to wheel out two Ducati 1199 Panigales.

But they were spotted by worker Paul Read, 35, who grappled them, kicking them out and hauling the bikes back in at the same time.

Then more thieves turned up outside the showroom - only to be confronted by In-Moto manager Adrian Couzens and three other have-a-go-helpers.

CCTV images of the attempted robbery, at 5.30 pm last Tuesday, show Mr Couzens charging at one thief and knocking him off his moped outside the showroom, before fending off another thug who was armed with bolt cutters.

Then Mr Read, his 17-year-old son Tay and two workers from a nearby garage charge on to the scene, sending thesix raiders racing off empty-handed.

Mr Couzens, 29, today said his first thought was: "I'm not going to stand for this."

He added that the shop had been targeted three times in the past few years and that he had "had enough".

The father-of-two, who suffered a broken wrist, is seen repeatedly confronting the raiders after they tried to wheel out two Ducatis from his store.

Twice he shoves one off a bike, going face-to-face with one thief wielding an iron bar and grappling another in a headlock.

"Tay alerted me and when I arrived Tay's dad Paul had already fought off four of them inside the showroom.

"He stopped them wheeling off two Ducati bikes and then we had to deal with all six outside.

"The first thing I thought when I saw them was 'I'm not going to stand for this'.

"If I had let them get away with it they would have been back next week and the week after and I just thought 'enough is enough'."

He added: "I didn't think about it I just went at them like a bull in a china shop - they needed to be taught a lesson and all of us - all five of us - taught them they can't mess with us.

Mr Read added: "These guy knew what they were doing - or at least they thought they did, but they got more then they bargained for on this occasion."

Speaking today, Tay said the staff m stopped the raiders from wheeling away two new Ducati Panigale motorbikes - which can do 0-60mph in three seconds and are worth around £25,000 each.

He said: "They didn't know what they were messing with when they tried to steal from us.

"They came in armed with iron bars, hammers and bolt cutters, but my dad (Paul) fought off four of them in the showroom and Adrian and the rest fought them off outside the showroom."
