A cheeky goat channeled his inner Dick Turpin to stop a motorcycle rider and steal their food - just like the highway robber of old.

The one-year-old farm animal named Sasita blocked the road with his gang of dogs, forcing the scooter rider to pull over in Chainat province, Thailand, on August 29.

Footage shows Sasita standing on his hind legs as he holds the vehicle's basket and rummages for snacks, his sharp devil-like horns glinting in the sunlight.

Sasita pulled out packaged bread and a bag of rice while pleading for the goat to stop. He continued the robbery until an elederly resident emerged from the roadside with a stick to chase him away.

Dick Turpin was one of the most notorious highwaymen in history. He was known for daring robberies and his ability to escape capture, earning him a place in folklore for generations to come.
