Astonishing moment brazen monkey climbs inside moving car to steal food

This brazen monkey was filmed climbing through an open window into a moving car in order to steal food.

The video shows the little macaque dart through an open window of a car driving through Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

Causing chaos, the primate gets to the back seats and starts rummaging around. Eventually, it takes off with a box of snacks.

Krissada Mamin, one of the passengers, said the monkey emerged from the nearby trees and came through the vehicle's open window.

She said: 'I was driving with my partner when the monkey came into the car. We were quite scared because it was very aggressive.'
