A vigilante armed with spray paint and a GoPro has become the new hero in crime-ridden London.

Food delivery rider Diego Galdino has begun taking the law into his own hands to try and stop pickpockets terrorising the streets of the capital.

The 22-year-old son of a police officer moved to the UK from Brazil in 2019 and began delivering on his bike for platforms like Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

He began making videos last year, catching the thieves red-handed and then swooping in to try and stop them.

He posts them under the name Pickpocket London, where they have been viewed more than 26 million times.
