This new style neither falls within the context of legal punishment for thieves nor the adverse case of mob action. The first viral video captured a thief being made to laugh and dance after allegedly stealing electricity cables from a shop in Takoradi. A new video which has been making the rounds on social media has a suspected thief being coerced to drink a chilled bottle of beer after he was made to desilt the gutters for allegedly stealing car parts. A report by Adom FM indicates that the suspected thief was apprehended by a community taskforce in Sekondi-Takoradi for stealing plantain and car parts. He eventually took the beer and resumed the desilting of the gutters to the pleasure of the residents.
