VENEZUELA, 2017 Two thieves were caught in the act. Several local residents detained them and decided to punish them themselves without calling the police. They shot through both of their hands.
Although such punishments may sometimes seem effective, the fact remains that the person who carries out such punishment often commits a greater violation of the law than the thief himself. Even a thief has the right to a fair trial and a punishment according to the law of the country. In such situations, always call the police to the scene.
