Police are hunting these two burglars with exotic tastes, who snatched £50,000 worth of expensive spice saffron during an east London warehouse break-in.
Between 9.50pm and 11.50pm on Thursday, June 11, two suspects forced their way into the Ilford business unit.
They stole 10kg of saffron, ignoring other stock to target the spice at the independent business premises.
Their movements were caught on CCTV and this image has been released by the Metropolitan Police's North East CID.
Detective Sergeant Laura Mills said: "This is someone’s livelihood and this theft will, of course, impact their business.
“Saffron is worth more than gold in weight and an extremely large amount was taken from this business.
“I’m releasing this CCTV because I need information.
“Someone knows something about this burglary and I am appealing to them to contact our team.
“If you have any information, no matter how insignificant you think it might be, please contact us.
"The victims are angry and upset that someone has done this to them.
“It’s important that those who are responsible are caught and the spice is returned to its rightful owners.”
Anyone with information should call 101 or tweet @MetCC.
