Bungling burglars filmed excitedly chatting about stealing an Alexa from a Nottinghamshire  house before uncovering their faces in front of a hidden camera

The pals can be seen casually talking among themselves about what to pinch after breaking into a 58-year-old man's property on February 7.

One of the dopey crooks is captured looking around the living room oblivious to the fact his every move is being caught on a secret camera.

He can then be heard excitedly exclaiming "Alexa, Alexa" when he sees the Amazon device and adds: "That big speaker is hefty."

The group continue to calmly discuss what to steal before leaving with their loot.

The three men escaped with a number of items such as watches and electronic goods including a Playstation, Alexa and a laptop.

On his way out of the property in Old Basford, Nottingham, one of the men boasts to his mate: "Come on lets go, I've got a big ass speaker fam."

After the break-in at 11.30pm, two of the men returned to the house in Vernon Park Drive around 45 minutes later to steal further items.

One of the offenders can be seen removing his hood, giving a clear view of his face, before he puts on a balaclava.

Victim Tony Williams said he was left distraught after having his valuable possessions stolen while he was at work at a pub.

He said: "I had just finished my night-shift and straight away I saw that the lights were on. I knew something wasn't right.

"I got out my car and saw some young lads, I thought they have jumped over a neighbour's fence or something.

"I went inside, and it was carnage inside. Things left all over the floor.

"It's sad, I've worked all my life and then you have so many items you've saved up for and personal items just taken off you."

Detective Constable Natalia Montano said: "This is some of the best CCTV footage we've had in a while to try and catch thieves.

"You can hear their discussions and it's hoped that because of the quality of the footage, we can find the offenders.”
