		</div><p>Police in England have likened CCTV of shop thieves driving through a shopping centre to a scene out of the 1960s caper The Italian Job.</p>
<p>The raiders smashed their way into the Forum Shopping Centre in Wallsend, North Tyneside, at around 4.10am on January 29.</p>
<p>Rather than using red, white and blue Minis like Michael Caine’s mob in the movie, the real-life criminals used a black hatchback to drive through the mall and up to the O2 shop, where they broke in and stole phones and other expensive technology.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">In a scene which wouldn’t look out of place in The Italian Job, thieves have been captured on CCTV driving a car through a <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wallsend?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Wallsend</a> shopping centre before stealing goods from the O2 shop.</p>
<p>We’re now eager for witnesses to come forward to assist with the investigation. ð®ð½♂ï¸ðð®ð¼♀ï¸ <a href="https://t.co/44eVmJROk7">pic.twitter.com/44eVmJROk7</a></p>

<p>They then fled the scene in their vehicle and have yet to be caught.</p>
<p>Northumbria Police said the scene <em>“wouldn’t look out of place in the film The Italian Job”</em>.</p>
<p>In a statement, Pc David Hudson said: <em>“The significant damage to the shopping centre and the burglary has caused substantial financial loss for the businesses involved.</em></p>
<p><em>“An investigation has been launched and I urge anyone with information, or who may have been in the area at the time and witnessed something, to get in touch.”</em></p>
<p>Anyone with any information should contact police via 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.</p>
