Brazen crooks have stolen thousands of pounds-worth of furniture from outside a pub, at six in the morning.
Rattan tables and chairs were stolen from the patio of The White Lion pub in Wrightington, Manchester Evening News reports .
Arriving in a van, they cleared the deck in just under two minutes on Thursday, as the CCTV above shows.
The footage from the pub, on Mossy Lea Road, shows a large white van pull into the car park and circle it before stopping outside the patio area.
Three men get out before beginning calmly loading the rattan tables and chairs into the back of the van before driving off.
In total, four tables and more than a dozen chairs were stolen, leaving the patio completely bare.
Pub bosses estimate it will cost them between £2,000 and £3,000 to replace what was taken.
It is believed the thieves came from the direction of Eccleston, Lancashire, and fled towards the M6.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police confirmed the incident was being investigated and they were aware of the CCTV.
They said: "We were called at 10am on Thursday morning to the White Lion pub. A van had entered the car park at 6am and three men have taken garden furniture worth around £3,000.
"Enquiries are ongoing."
It is not the first report of garden furniture being stolen from pubs in the Greater Manchester area.
Last month, dozens of chairs and tables were swiped from Bramley Farm in Altrincham.
It is understood there have also been several other incidents in the region.
Anyone with information relating to The White Lion theft is asked to contact on Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log number 0336 of May 30.
