A shocking video has captured the moment a young girl encouraged by her mother steals from a woman's handbag during a mass in Honduras.
The video shows the child reaching over the pew in front and taking what appears to be a cellphone at the Our Lady of Guadalupe church in the capital city of Tegucigalpa on Sunday.
The pair then immediately dart off together and head for the exit while their unsuspecting victim remains standing and observing the priest.
Authorities have opened an investigation, but no arrests have been made.
The video has drawn widespread condemnation, with many people expressing shock and disgust at the brazen theft in a place of worship.
