A MAN was beaten, stripped and forced to walk naked through a busy shopping area in Mexico wearing a sign saying "I am a thief" after being accused of stealing.

It is the second time this month an alleged robber has been beaten and forced to walk naked through the same popular shopping area in one of the country’s largest cities.
Mexico is facing a wave of vigilante justice.
Citizens who are tired of the perceived reluctance of the police to punish petty criminals are taking justice into their own hands.
Earlier this month a man was doused in petrol and burned alive in a town square in San Juan Chamula, in the south of the country, after claims he had stolen a motorbike.
And last month an alleged rapist, 20-year-old Jacinto Neto, was removed from a police cell by a mob of more than 50 people.
He was then thrown into a cage full of crocodiles in San Francisco Ixhuatan, southern Mexico.
