A man from Australia stopped his car from being stolen by lifting it via forklift and its video is going viral across social media platforms.

The viral video, shared by Queensland Police, shows the red-coloured Volkswagen suspended in the air. The police asked Brendan Mills to lower it so they could arrest the female robber inside it. 

The surveillance camera video had also filmed her heading towards his home. She reportedly took a shower and wore the family’s clothes before breaking into the car.

Brendan Mills and his family were shocked to see her sitting inside there. He asked her to come out. She did not budge and was preparing to get away with it.

The Australian man stopped her by using the forklift – which he uses to work on vehicles – to lift it two metres in the air with her inside it.

The woman was arrested and charged with burglary and unlawful motor vehicle use.
