Thief steals broken car

A russian thief did not get far after he stole a car from a repair shop in southern Moscow without realising the car had no brakes.

When the 24-year-old thief tried to get away with the broken Nissan Primera, he noticed the car had no brakes. After sailing trough a set of traffic lights he smashed into another car.

A Moscow police spokesman said: "He told us he had seen mechanics do a paint job on the car and saw them leave the keys in the ignition so he decided to take his chance."

"But what he didn't know was that the car was also getting new brakes fitted."

The thief was arrested and charged with theft.
