Romanian gang robbing truck from bonnet of car

Incredible footage has been released showing Romanian gangsters breaking into the back of a truck as they hurtle along a motorway at night.
The thieves quickly drive up behind their target vehicle, positioning themselves so close that its driver would be unable to see them in his mirrors.
Two men can then be seen emerging from the sunroof. As one edges out on to the bonnet the other grabs his legs and holds him steady.

According to police they stole televisions, cigarettes and coffee which were later sold on in the Obor market in Bucharest.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158533/Incredible-video-shows-Romanian-gang-robbing-truck-bonnet-car-hurtle-motorway.html
