Watch: Ford Fiesta mows down moped thief
The moment a passing driver confronts the crooks.

A vigilante has been caught on camera apprehending two moped thieves and smashing into one as he tried to make off on another bike.  

The CCTV footage shows two individuals attempting to break a moped free from its lock with a pair of bolt cutters until a passing driver confronts them.

The crooks force the driver back into his car and smash his wing mirror before he has chance to speed off.

The thieves turn back to the moped but fail to cut it free and attempt to flee the scene.

The Fiesta then speeds back into shot, reversing straight into the getaway bike, sending one of the crooks flying.

Both run free, abandoning both bikes.

The clip was shared on the UK motorcycle theft protest community Facebook group and has been viewed more than 44,000 times.

The video caption read: “What a hero.

“Two moped criminals stopped by a heroic civilian, watch until the end.

“Whoever you are, on behalf of the biking community.

“Thank you!

“You deserve a medal.

“That’s the spirit.”

Have your say!
