A group of suspected thieves have been filmed apparently stealing cargo from a lorry as it travelled at speed along a public road.
The bizarre footage shows a turquoise pickup truck travelling tightly behind the larger vehicle and appearing to make contact with it.
One person can be seen standing on the bonnet and reaching into the rear of the moving lorry to grab its cargo.

He appears to remove some of the goods before quickly passing them to his partners-in-crime in the back of the pickup.
The extraordinary footage, filmed in Egypt, has been doing the rounds on social media, with viewers comparing the daring manoeuvre to something from an action film.
It remains unclear exactly where the footage was recorded or when the incident took place.
The identities of those shown in the video have also not been confirmed.
Egyptian authorities are reportedly examining the footage and working to establish its source, as well as determine whether it shows a genuine robbery, according to several Egyptian outlets on Tuesday (25 August).
Investigators are expected to scrutinise details visible in the footage, including the road and vehicles, in an attempt to establish where and when the incident occurred.
They are also working to identify those shown in the video and establish the circumstances surrounding the apparent theft, as reported by Need To Know.
One viewer wrote online: “The video is real and not AI-generated, but putting the issue of the theft itself aside, there was a high level of skill involved.
“The driver of the green truck was key to the success of the theft because he maintained an extremely close distance to the other truck while it was moving.
“He also stayed directly behind the middle of the truck, meaning that even if the other driver looked in his rear-view mirror, they would not have been able to see them behind him.”
Another added: “They should be in a Fast & Furious film.”
