BRAZEN: Moment woman snatches NIntendo Switch from boy’s table

THIS is the moment a brazen thief stole a British boy’s games console from a restaurant table in front of dozens of diners. 

The woman, donning a pink top, can be seen swooping in and taking the Nintendo gadget in the very few seconds it was left unattended.

The father of the boy, Rob Goodey, shared the images of the thief appealing for anyone who may know her to come forward.

“Anybody recognise this spineless thief who stole my 7 year old son’s nintendo switch from Montaditos on the Arenal?” he wrote.

“We would like it back and she can give her explanation to our son.”
