A brave woman thwarted two crooks who stole her electric bike by yanking one off a moped as they tried to speed off with it.

The middle-aged lady grabbed it and pulled one of the helmet-wearing thieves off the scooter too.

Shocked passersby and customers in a Starbucks watched on in horror.

The e-bike and one of the crooks ended up in the road as the other offender carried on on the moped.

One bystander in the coffee shop captured her heroics on their mobile phone.

It happened on Tuesday (24 Sept) on Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

“But I can’t understand there’s nobody helping and of course caught on camera taking the documentary of it all instead of helping?

“I know it’s a bit daunting to get involved with something like this.

“But that’s someone’s family member and trust me the little sod needs more than being dragged off that bike and I say that in a non-violent manner.”

Ben Hunt added: “Good for her, shame people not helping her out.”

Mohammed Abdul Aziz said: “Wow the happiness I felt seeing that lowlife hit the floor.”

Another – called Gareth – added: “Love that.

“Good on her.”
