The suspects are believed to have climbed over a garden fence before breaking into the back of the house in south London.

The shocking images show the pair casually stealing the gifts and lifting the tree to reach to the items.

The gifts reportedly contained jewellery, photographic equipment, a tablet and a laptop. Police said soft toys, puzzles and games belonging to the victims' baby were damaged.
