Police have seized more than 500 suspected stolen phones from a shop in London - as four men are arrested.
Metropolitan Police footage showed a group of officers entering the store and using a large tool to access a padlocked area within the building, revealing shelves stacked with mobile phones.
One officer can be heard saying there were "loads of phones".
The shop in Kilburn, northwest London, was originally subject to a warrant after intelligence suggested the venue was being used to supply class B drugs.
Four men - aged 22, 25, 34 and 63 - have been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, possession of drugs and intent to supply.
Inspector Yu Zhang, from the Met's local policing team in Brent, said the force understood that "mobile phone theft remains a major concern for Londoners".
"Seizures such as this show that we are not only targeting individual phone snatchers, but also those who handle and profit from stolen devices," he added.
Three suspects have been released on bail, and one has been released under investigation.
Metropolitan Police are using intelligence and new technology, such as drones and high-powered Sur-Ron electric bikes, to tackle mobile phone thieves.

Police action has, at least in part, led to a 10,000 drop in the number of reported mobile phone theft offences in London in the past year.
In March, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said: "If by June industry has not come forward in a genuinely serious, solutions‑focused way - with concrete commitments that make stolen phones unusable anywhere in the world - the Met will formally ask the Government to legislate."
