Thieves stole thousands of pounds worth of Arsenal gear in a raid on the Emirates Stadium club shop.

Police were called at around 11.30pm last night and say the suspects left the scene in a car and two mopeds.

There are no reported injuries and no arrests made after the raid on the Highbury House store, in Drayton Park, at the stadium site.

Lord Collins of Highbury, a Labour frontbencher in the House of Lords, tweeted a photo of the damage today.

He wrote: "Looks like someone used a car to break into the Arsenal shop last night."

Other pictures posted on Twitter show police at the scene with the shutters to the club shop buckled.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Police in Islington were called to Emirates Stadium, Queensland Road, E7 at 23:27hrs on Tuesday, 29 August following reports of a burglary at a commercial premise.
