This is the shocking moment a man appears to run a set of keys down the side of a shopper's supercar as it was parked in an east London supermarket car park.

In brazen scenes, captured on the car's dashboard camera, the man is seen looking left and right before seemingly running his key down the side of the vehicle.

Police said the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, worth up to £100,000, cost £9,000 to repair.

The owner had parked near shops on Morning Lane in Hackney on Friday June 19 and left his dashboard camera turned on as he went shopping.

Moments later, at around, 10.30am, a tall black man wearing a grey tracksuit approached the car pushing a baby in a pram.

He hands the child a small stuffed cuddly toy before looking from side to side and removing a set of keys from his pocket.

He is then alleged to have keyed the car. A loud scraping noise can be heard on the footage as the man walks the length of the vehicle.

Police are appealing for anyone with any information to come forward, by calling police on 101 quoting image 182820 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
