This is the moment brazen thieves broke into a Belfast shop and stole a Segway.

The two crooks, whose faces were covered throughout, broke into repair shop CLR Belfast on Castlereagh Road in the early hours of Tuesday, November 28.

The pair can be seen in CCTV footage creeping through the door and doing sweeps of the store to find what they are looking for.

They made off with a Segway and owner James Busteed has released the footage in a bid to track down the culprits.

He told Belfast Live: "When they got in the alarm went off and I have it going to my phone so I was notified pretty much straight away.

"I checked the cameras and didn't see anything initially but zoomed in and saw the back door was open so called the police and went down.

"It was strange, you could see on the CCTV they were going in and out and picking things up and putting them down but they only lifted one Segway. It was like they were looking for something.

"It has been a distressing time and they should not be allowed to get away with something like this."

A PSNI spokeswoman said: "Police are appealing for information and witnesses following the report of a burglary in the Castlereagh Road area of Belfast.

"At approximately 3.50am on Tuesday, 28 November, police received a report that premises had been entered. It is believed that a Smart scooter hoverboard/Segway was stolen.

"Police would appeal to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area around this time to contact Police at Strandtown on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 104 28/11/17. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
