A young man was caught red-handed while trying to steal from a boutique in Uga, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State. It was revealed that the suspect who claims he is a student of Mass Communications at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, was nabbed while trying to break into the shop from the back – with a hammer and chisel.

According to the suspect identified as Chimezie Udoka, he came the previous day to survey the boutique under the guise of pricing clothes as he decided to perfect his plan the next night.

The suspect came for the robbery with empty bags which he wanted to use to pack the clothes after the operation.

He was caught by the vigilante in the community who later set him free after much public humilation.
