An elderly woman was forced to watch as a gang of masked men broke into her home in west London.
Three men broke into an 83-year-old woman’s house in Hayes, west London, on June 29 as she slept.
Footage circulating on social media of a Ring camera set up above her bed shows the masked men entering her house as she was forced to watch as her belongings were taken.
As the woman woke up to the break-in, one of the intruders appears to hold a knife towards the pensioner.
After two minutes, they left with what the Metropolitan Police believe are several items of jewellery and £500 in cash.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the force was aware of the video and understood the “concern that incidents like this can cause for those affected and the wider community”.
The spokesman said: “Officers attended, but the suspects had fled the scene. Officers spoke with the victim, an 83-year-old woman. One suspect was captured on CCTV carrying a weapon, but no injuries were reported.
“It is believed that several items of jewellery, as well as around £500 in cash was stolen from the property. No arrests have been made at this stage.”

It comes as a serial sex offender has been found guilty of murdering two people and raping another woman in London.
Simon Levy, 40, of Beaufoy Road, Tottenham, north London, was found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey today.
The jobless sex offender conducted a spree of attacks on women from 2018 to 2025, killing two women within this period, as the police failed to stop him.
He was convicted of murdering Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, five months apart last year.
Levy, who is unemployed, was also found guilty of two counts of rape, assault occasioning grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent and non-fatal suffocation over a sex attack in January 2025.
The victim of that brutal assault survived.
Jurors were told by prosecutor Tom Little KC that the series of attacks were committed by a “predatory serial sexual attacker in a similar way”.
Miss Valencia-Trujillo was found dead in a largely abandoned block of flats on the Aylesbury Estate in south east London in March last year.
Miss Wilkins was discovered behind a car park wall in Tottenham five months later.
Levy had suffocated both women in what was a sexually motivated attack.
He also carried out the January rape in the same car park, in which the victim was left with a broken collarbone and unconscious.
The Metropolitan Police, the British Transport Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have all admitted failures were made in dealing with the serial sex offender, who was on bail when he murdered both Miss Valencia-Trujillo and Miss Wilkins.
