Jungle Justice Goes Viral!..A Facebook campaign to dish out vigilante justice in Peru has gone viral - after hundreds of people started posting pictures and videos of themselves catching and punishing petty criminals.
The 'Catch Your Thief' movement took off after one neighbourhood decided to stop calling the police after a crime, warning they would 'lynch' the culprits instead.
Social media users quickly began posting their own home-made footage showing alleged thieves and pickpockets receiving their comeuppance, often at the hands of a baying mob of revenge-seekers. Punishments range from being stripped naked and whipped in public and being forced to perform tough military exercises to even being force-fed raw chili peppers.
