The caption of the video said .“A mobile phone snatcher was caught at Kaneshie Market this afternoon, and a rope was tied around his waist and made to sweep the market as his punishment,”
Today was an unlucky ‘business’ day for a phone snatcher at Kaneshie when he was caught in the act.
Along the way, an unidentified person lands a hefty slap to the cheeks of the suspect right before he returns to performing his punishment.
Although many people wished to exert some physical punches or slaps on the young man, others also urged that no one hit him.
It is unclear what happened to the phone snatcher after that, but one thing was clear, he got served a productive punishment.
