They had been carrying Brit Florence and her loved ones from the showing of Thunderbolts* in London’s Leicester Square to an after-party near the Strand.
She had earlier been pictured at the event with her grandmother Pat and Peaky Blinders boyfriend Finn Cole.
Florence, 29, was then seen getting out of a car for the star-studded party in a sheer, nude dress.
An onlooker said: “Florence and her family and friends pulled up in five Mercedes vans to the after-party.

“Not long after they’d gone inside, a motorbike with two blokes in balaclavas pulled up and they smashed out a side window of one of the vans.
“The chauffeurs who were driving the vans didn’t have a chance to do anything, it all happened so quickly.
“They got inside and made off with a laptop and a mobile phone from the middle seats.
“Luckily, Florence and her friends and family, including her gran, were inside and weren’t affected but it was still shocking.
“London is becoming lawless and these thieves seem to know exactly where their targets are.”
The smashed-out windows were later seen taped up with bin bags.

But Florence, who plays assassin Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, continued to promote her new film after the raid.
Yesterday, the Oscar-nominated star posed in a black leather dress at a Thunderbolts* event at the Corinthia Hotel in central London ahead of its release on May 1.
She was joined by co-stars including David Harbour, Lewis Pullman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The Met Police yesterday confirmed the van attack had been reported to its officers.
A spokesman said: “A 35-year-old man reported his car had been broken into overnight on Tuesday, April 22, with a phone and laptop allegedly stolen from inside. No arrests have been made yet.”
In January, Lib Dem MP Lisa Smart claimed car thefts in the capital have been “decriminalised” after the Met Police failed to solve nine out of ten cases.
And Made In Chelsea star Jamie Lang revealed last month that his car was broken into in the capital.
