Moment a black man brazenly 'steals cash from Wetherspoons fruit machine' in plain view of dozens of punters

This is the shocking moment a man smashes open a fruit machine and steals cash in front of shocked onlookers at a busy London pub.



The brazen thief, wearing a black baseball cap and sunglasses, is filmed using an implement to pry open the body of the machine to reveal the wiring.



Despite the obvious commotion, customers at the Wetherspoons branch, believed to be in Farringdon in central London, do nothing to stop him.



At one stage a woman shouts: "Oh my god, what are you doing?"



After securing his haul, the man then makes a quick exit towards the door as onlookers sit and laugh.
