Security camera records brazen mobile phone snatch

This is the moment two thieves on motorbikes snatched a mobile phone from a man's hand as he was talking on it.

The footage shows the victim, Sukchain Singh, talking on his handset by the side of Sultanwind Road road in Amritsar, India on August 11.

Two men on a motorbike pass by him and snatch the phone before speeding away.

Police officer Amarbeer Kumar, who is probing the incident, said there were clues about the two men from the CCTV footage.

"They will be arrested soon," he said.

Residents of Amritsar have been complaining for some time about the rising incidence of phone thefts.
