The electronic retailer in Brent Cross Shopping Centre was closed off by police yesterday (January 5) after the alleged theft at 2.35pm.
A new video has emerged showing what look to be hooded and masked males running up to the models on display and grabbing them off the stands.
An alarm can be heard blaring while the group escapes the shop and staff and customers huddle to the back.
Another video shared over social media shows some customers quickly running out in panic due to the incident.
