The police car then rams into McNamara - what's called a tactical contact - before officers clamber out to stop him.
What appears to be a taser is pointed at the thug as he lays face down on the ground.
Footage shows McNamara getting cuffed as another officer arrives.
As the thug is stands upright, a police officer pulls his balaclava down to reveal his face.
McNamara says: "I ain't done nothing mate."
"Yeah? We'll see about that."
McNamara was found to be carrying tin foil - often used to wrap stolen phones.
A cop pulls it out of his bag, asking: "What's this?"
While another says: "Ah! Going equipped."
The officer emptying his bag then starts to announce everything he's finding.
He lists: "Tinfoil, balaclava."
He was arrested for going equipped for theft, dangerous driving, owning no insurance, and riding otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
And cops were left gobsmacked as, after his arrest, McNamara quips: "I can get that back though, innit?"
The officer replies: "No chance, no chance."
Suspected thief McNamara was handed a seven-month suspended prison sentence while also having his driving licence endorsed.
