An unsuspecting man had his phone stolen by two men on a MOPED as he walked down the street.
The shocking and brazen moment was captured on the helmet cam of a motorcycle rider travelling behind.
The scooter can be seen whizzing along a residential road.

The rider is clad all in black with the pillion passenger in grey without a helmet.
It suddenly veers over to the left as the thieving duo spot the victim in a red top and shorts.
The moped – which has L-plates on – then goes onto the pavement and they creep up behind the man.
The crook on the back then swipes the phone from his grasp and the pair speed off.
The victim momentarily tries to give chase but his efforts were futile.
The other motorbike carries on up Forest Road, in Walthamstow, east London.
The moped then does a U-turn in the street – lined with terraced houses and shops – and goes back on itself.
The 32-second video then comes to an end.
It happened just after 3pm on Saturday (19 Oct), as reported on Need To Know.
Local Shaun Jackson said: “And he does nothing.
“For f*cks sake.”
Another – named Michael – added: “Follow them.”
But Dominic Brant said: “Get involved, get hurt.
“Not worth it over someone else’s phone.”
A fourth added: “Everyone in London should buy phone tethers.
“It prevents this from happening.”
Sathursan Sharvaswaran said: “I thought this happens in central London.
“But didn’t expect it far as Walthamstow.”
It follows a spate of similar crimes with crooks using electric bikes in central London.
The Met Police has been approached for comment.
