A brave woman who had her car stolen came face-to-face with the suspected thieves when she saw them driving around in it near her home a week later.

Nancy Agatao, of Mellow Purgess, Laindon, thought she would never see her car again and could not believe it when she saw it just two streets away.

The 26-year-old managed to make the occupants pull over in the vehicle, registered G427 SMV, before they sped off.
