This footage shows a gang of armed men robbing a bank after they smashed a car into the branch of Santander.
The robbers screamed at members of the public to stop filming, but a number of people continued to capture footage of the robbery.
This video was filmed from the coffee shop over the road and shows the men with crowbars inside the Leicestershire bank.
An employee at Timpsons near to Santander was one of several people defiantly filming the robbery despite the demands of the masked men that they stop.
He told LeicestershireLive: “They were screaming at people and the ladies working inside the bank were screaming. It was fairly scary.
“I was standing quite close just outside our shop filming it.
“The men had crowbars and were shouting ‘stop filming’ at me and other people across the road who had their phones out.
“But no one stopped filming. I’ve handed the footage over to the police.”
Leicestershire Police has released a statement on this morning’s incident.
The force said: “Cash was stolen from a bank deposit machine during a robbery in The Parade, Oadby, this morning.
“Officers were called to the premises at 8.42am today following a report that a black 4x4 vehicle had reversed into the building.
