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.

A video taken by a passer-by shows the man - who has not been identified - walking slowly along a main road in the Oregon shopping area in Guadalajara, central Mexico.

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.
