This is the moment foolish crooks who mugged a woman in the street were caught after they stole her car, which was tracked by cops.

The footage was shared by the Military Police of Sao Paulo state, Brazil, and shows a woman looking for her key to open a gate shortly before she is targeted by the two crooks.

The CCTV images then cut from the woman’s home to show the arrest of the pair after cops located the stolen car in Diadema, Sao Paulo state.

The woman is later seen telling police that the crooks had fled in her grey Volvo.

Cops from the Third Battalion of the Metropolitan Military Police were then able to track the vehicle down.

The woman was also seen providing the police with a copy of the CCTV footage showing what the thieves were wearing and helping with their identification.

Officers then arrested the two individuals separately after they tried to flee.
