Two alleged car thieves narrowly escaped mob justice after being apprehended in a dramatic hot chase at Ablekuma.
The suspects had attempted to steal a Toyota Vitz with registration number GR 2628-24 but were caught by an angry mob at Amasaman 3 Junction.
The situation escalated as the mob began beating the suspects, leaving them with visible injuries. However, a police officer intervened just in time to prevent further harm.
In a 25-second video circulating online, one of the suspects is seen questioning the mob’s actions, while the other clings tightly to the leg of the police officer for protection.
