VIDEO: Snatch Thieves Strike Unsuspecting Motorcyclist Riding Near Skudai Parade

We’ve seen thieves smash open parked cars to snatch visible valuables. We’ve seen them strike unsuspecting pedestrians, too. But we don’t always come across something quite like this.

If for nothing else, this video’s a good reminder of how dangerous things have become on Malaysian roads – a point we particularly pointed out a few months back.

Making its rounds on social media right now is a video about a duo on a motorcycle, seen plotting their snatch, and striking a fellow motorcyclist when its least expected. The whole event is believed to have happened near Skudai Parade, JB.

It’s something we can’t stress enough: thieves strike when victims least expect it – so never let your guard down. And, to be honest, we weren’t quite expecting the timing of this snatch, which is even riskier, given that both vehicles were moving when the thief reaches out the snatch the victim’s neck chain.

Watch the following clip, and always remember to keep your guard up. Don’t give these opportunists the chance to try something funny, because plainly, they’re stupid enough to risk it all for a quick buck. Notice how they spot the chance as the ride up alongside the victim initially, and then plot to act.

It’s unfortunate that we live in such a world (country, more so), but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Take care folks.
