A young couple has pummelled two thieves into submission after they demanded the keys to their car.

The pair had only bought the shiny new motor the day before.

CCTV images show the plucky duo beating the suspects with a flurry of punches and flying kicks.

A topless neighbour appears at one point to lend the couple a hand.

The 18-year-old woman said the two men approached her and her partner on a motorbike as they left their house to get into their parked car.

The suspects demanded the couple hand over their keys.

But the victims saw they weren’t brandishing a gun and appeared unarmed.

As a result, the man began attacking the suspected thieves and his teen girlfriend lent a hand in the early hours of 20 May.

The couple, who live in Uberlândia about 200 miles south of the Brazilian capital Brasília, said they acted on impulse.

The unnamed woman said: “Out of anger, in the heat of the moment, we drew strength.

“One of them tried to escape and I went after him to stop him.

“They were bleeding a lot and asked us ‘For the love of god, stop beating us.’”

She added: “They were apparently high on drugs.”

The teenage woman said they called the police, but the suspects managed to get away before they arrived.

She said the criminals had multiple injuries to their faces, but she and her partner were unharmed in the altercation.

The police have confirmed they are reviewing CCTV footage to try to identify the suspects, as reported by Need to Know.
