A dramatic scene unfolded when a suspected thief, accused of breaking into a shop, was brought back to the crime scene and forced to demonstrate exactly how he committed the act.
The bizarre incident, captured on video and shared widely on X (formerly Twitter), shows the man surrounded by a crowd of curious and excited onlookers.
According to the original post, he had been arrested after allegedly stealing goods from the store.
In a surprising turn, the next day he was taken back to the scene—not by police but by members of the community—and made to reenact his method of entry and theft.
The video captures the man climbing and maneuvering in the same way he reportedly did during the break-in, while those watching laughed, clapped, and shouted in amazement.
The footage has quickly gone viral, sparking a wave of online commentary and debate. While some viewers found the situation entertaining, others raised serious concerns about the legality and morality of such public shaming and vigilante justice.
One user, @AngelaLarwetey, emphasized the illegality of physically assaulting suspects, even when caught red-handed. Others, like @DansoMemes, sympathized with the man, attributing the situation to high unemployment. Meanwhile, some expressed shock at the thief’s boldness and the crowd’s response.
The incident has reignited discussions about justice, poverty, and how communities handle crime when trust in formal systems is low.
