HOW GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS...TREE

Doorbell camera catches festive crook in action

- ELIZABETA RANXBURGAJ

DOORBELL footage captures the moment a real-life Grinch steals a mum's decorated 6ft Christmas tree from her front porch.

The hooded figure is seen creeping up to the tree before yanking it from its stand and legging it.

Mum-of-10 Zoe Murray, 52, was at home when the thief struck at 8.26pm.

But she had no idea the tree was gone until 10pm, when she went out to collect her daughter from work.
