Two masked carjackers have been jailed after leaping off a moped and holding a driver at knifepoint until they could get their hands on his keys – and take off in his motor.
The man unsuspectingly clambered out of his Volkswagen Golf R in Wombourne, Staffordshire, on September 11 last year.
But he was quickly swarmed by Dylan Maskery-Hurd, 19, and Callum Talbot, 23, who arrived on a moped with a third man driving.
Shocking footage shows the armed carjackers rushing the driver, demanding that he hand over his car keys.
The thugs can be seen getting the keys from the man’s pocket, jumping in his car and taking off.
Fortunately, the man was not seriously injured.
Taskery-Hurd and Talbot were later seen casually walking down a road after leaving the Golf abandoned in a car park.

Both were both charged and eventually pleaded guilty to robbery.
Talbot was jailed for six years and Maskery-Hurd was for four years at a sentencing hearing at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Friday, March 21.
Det Sgt Marc Proctor, from Staffordshire Police’s City Proactive Team, said: ‘Two dangerous thieves have been taken off our streets after we launched an investigation into this robbery.
‘Dedicated officers are working hard every day across Staffordshire to robustly target those blighting local communities and this is another example of that.’
