Winter Wonderland: Girl has £685 Balenciaga trainers 'stolen' and went home in Primark shoes

A user posting on TikTok claims her expensive designer trainers were stolen at Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland.

The online video shows her wearing black Balenciaga trainers saying “I came here with these shoes.”

Later the video shows the counter where she swapped footwear for ice-skates, saying she handed the expensive footwear in.

She then shows a pair of black Primark shoes, claiming “this is what I am leaving with…£600 gone down the drain.”

Her video is labelled "Go Winter Wonderland at your own risk, still never got them back.”

The video has been viewed nearly three million times with 240,000 likes.

Whilst a number of comments were supportive, several were scathing about the video and accused the whole situation of being a “set up”.

One user commented said "what you get for buying them shoes" and another said "don't bring expensive shoes then, it's your property take responsibility lmao".

A Hyde Park Winter Wonderland spokesperson told MyLondon: "We are investigating an isolated incident of alleged theft at the Ice Rink. We are speaking with the visitor and have recommended she escalate this matter to the police.

"We take any allegations of theft seriously and will work with the relevant authorities to resolve this issue.
