The London Loot-athon: Outrage as dozens of people are filmed brazenly snatching bottles of water left for marathon runners

A group of people including parents with children were seen stealing bottles of water from London marathon runners. The mob were pictured descending on tables laid out with liquid just after the 26.2 mile event started. Eyewitnesses say a group of opportunistic thieves started stealing the bottles minutes after the front runners had passed through. One man even brought a trolley with him to pile up crates of the water which should have been much needed refreshment for the athletes.
