They were stealing gasoline, thieves were almost involved in a flame (Video)

A couple of gas thieves were almost involved in a flame after they tried to steal fuel.

According to foreign media, it's an indication of images taken from security cameras that capture the moment the flames explode from the back window of a black Mercedes.

The images show a man based on the black car as it was packed at the Esso gas pump in South Harrow, northwest London, on Thursday morning.

But just seconds later, the car exploded in flames, with a flame of fire coming through the back window of the vehicle.

A confused woman may be seen moving from the vehicle by the passenger side and turning some of her clothes away before a man from another car goes to help her.

Meanwhile, the driver tries to get into the vehicle to leave the scene.
