Detectives have released CCTV footage of three men after jewellery and an antique coin collection were stolen from a house in south-west London.

In the footage, one man is seen approaching the front door of a home in Wimbledon, where he appears to examine the doors and windows.

About 40 minutes later, two different men were caught on CCTV leaving the house through the back garden.

Scotland Yard said they noticed a CCTV camera and cut the wires.
