From the Not-What-We-Had-Planned-Afterwards Department
A municipal police patrol rescued a burglar who was beaten by a large mob in a central Mexican village, according to Mexican news reports.
News about the activities of three burglars spread prompting a gathering of a large group of about 600 villagers in the village of San Juan Tezompa, Mexico, who caught one of the criminals.
The crowd began beating the unidentified unfortunate man, as his two other companions fled in a taxi cab. Elements in the crowd threatened to kill their captive when a traffic patrol arrived to take custody of the burglar.
The burglar was later transferred to state legal authorities, however, police facilities were surrounded by villagers to monitor the supposed hand-off.
