Thieves have been captured on a dashcam just seconds after breaking into a van parked on a Sheffield street and stealing a strimmer.

The footage, shot by a driver who wishes to remain anonymous, shows two men on a moped riding away carrying a strimmer, which is believed to have been stolen from a van parked outside the Cornwall Works development, Alma Street, Kelham Island.

It was filmed at around 3.15pm on Wednesday and comes after Phil Ridley said he saw two men attempting to break into two vans on Psalter Lane.
