Suspected thief caught, beaten by residents in uncompleted building

Early morning thief

A suspected thief was apprehended by residents of a local community after he was spotted hiding in an uncompleted building.

According to eyewitnesses, the man was subjected to a beating by some members of the crowd before eventually being restrained.

Video footage circulating online shows the suspect surrounded by residents, though what he said during the encounter remains unclear due to poor audio quality.

This incident adds to a growing number of similar cases across Ghana, where suspected thieves are often met with instant mob justice rather than being handed over to the police.

Authorities continue to caution the public against taking the law into their own hands and urge communities to report suspects to law enforcement for proper legal action.
