CCTV footage captured the 'shocking' moment masked thieves attacked a mum and her pregnant daughter over Christmas.
In the clip obtained by Manchester Evening News, the two victims - in their 50s and 30s - can be seen walking down Bond Street in Denton, Greater Manchester, when they are approached and assaulted by two men.
After throwing the pregnant woman to the ground and snatching her car keys in the sickening attack, the thugs make off in her Audi TT S.
Police released the video in the hope of catching the two offenders who DS Peter Goddard, from GMP Tameside's Serious Acquisitive Crime Team, branded ‘cowardly and dangerous’.
He said: "We're desperate to hear from anyone who may have information about this incident, which saw a pregnant woman shockingly thrown to the floor."
He added: "It is clear that these offenders are cowardly and dangerous individuals who will try and prey on vulnerable people in the street regardless of their surroundings or the time of day and we are doing all we can to catch them.
"No arrests have yet been made but we are carrying out several lines of enquiry and hope that anyone who recognises these men - or who may have dash-cam footage of a vehicle matching the stolen Audi's description.”
The women were walking down Bond Street at 5.20pm on December 28, police say.
After snatching their keys and making off with the Audi, the men drove onto Hyde Road in the direction of Hyde itself, officers added.
