On a street in Sydney's west, a group of attackers took just seconds to part the driver from his ride.
A brazen daylight scooter robbery on the street in Sydney's west was caught on camera, showing the alleged theft taking place in just over 11 seconds.
The footage, which was taken at about 5pm on Monday on Copeland Street in Penrith, shows a man who appears to be a food service delivery driver waiting in traffic on the street.
Multiple people with their faces covered zoom into frame on motorbikes to surround the man, while one of the attackers jumps off to tackle the driver off his scooter.
