South Africa - A criminal is caught breaking into an Opel Corsa bakkie parked in a complex. Thankfully, like most institutions, they have security cameras. 

The clip, uploaded onto the 'Crime Intelligence and Community Awareness' YouTube page shows the man force open the driver's window.

He is able to unlock the door and climb inside.

The perpetrator seems to check if there are any valuables in the car before a man approaches the bakkie and wrestles with him briefly.
