In the Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine, truck drivers hung a thief by the leg on a tree after he tried to steal fuel and batteries from their vehicles. They recorded everything and published it on the web. The Internet went wild.

The drivers did not even try to call the police. In order to give a proper lesson to the robber, they hung him by the leg on a tree and then, in addition, they destroyed his car. In the recording you can see the demolished car, whose trunk is filled with containers of stolen fuel.

Police are looking for them

It is not known how long the thief was hanging on the tree. The police have already arrested him and are now looking for his executioners.

The man we see in the recording was arrested for a series of thefts. The court has already applied appropriate preventive measures’, the police representative Olga Kuźniecowa states.

Most people support the drivers

Although among Internet users there are some opponents of this way of administering justice, most of them support the drivers. Interestingly, even the mayor of the city of Żółte Wody is on their side.

If the law enforcement bodies are helpless, lynching may start occurring in our city’, the mayor said, according to the website korrespondent.net.

According to psychologist Tatjana Semibratova, truck drivers are often driven by vengeance, because they usually have to pay for such losses from their own pockets. And since they constitute a strong, fraternal community, they jointly administer justice.

These people did not believe that the police would help them. That’s why they decided to solve this problem in their own way. In this case, the thief was actually lucky, I have seen cases when thieves beaten up by furious men ended up in intensive care units’, the psychologist says.

Both the drivers and the thief may be subject to a penalty of imprisonment of up to 5 years.
