No mercy: Female thief caught by
shop owner gets humiliated with
a hair shave (PHOTOS, WATCH)
Posted by Y! Assistant Editor
When Chinese shopkeeper Lu Sun saw a
shoplifter shoving clothes into her bag she
decided she’d teach her a lesson.
In an unusual example of vigilante justice, the
retailer, whose store had been hit by a spate of
thefts over the previous two weeks, pinned
shoplifter Li Wu to the ground, took a pair of
scissors and hacked off her long dark hair.
Lu Sun, 32, had lost hundreds of pounds worth
of goods from thefts at her store at a shopping
centre in Wenzhou, China, so decided to keep a
close watch on Li Wu when she saw her acting
suspiciously.
She said: ‘I watch so many people everyday, so
I can tell thieves from others easily.
‘When I noticed the woman sneaking around
in the shopping mall, I knew she was up to no
good.
‘So, when she came into my shop, I was alert
and finally caught her in the act.’
Miss Sun was helped by a neighbouring shop
owner who held Wi Lun down while she cut
off chunks of her hair.
The pair then called the police and had the
shoplifter arrested.
Miss Sun added: ‘I decided to do it to teach her
a lesson and to send a message to other
thieves in the area to stay away from my shop.’
Miss Sun is by no means the first shopkeeper
to dish out a painful lesson to thieves.
Last year Edinburgh retailer Arfan Hussain
became an internet sensation when CCTV
footage of him apprehending a thief went
viral.
The thief tried to steal £2.30 worth of
milkshake – but didn’t bargain on shopkeeper
Mr Hussain being a former Tae Kwon Do
champion.
He was hailed the internet’s next ‘Big Man’
after he posted the CCTV footage on YouTube.
A lesson learned: Lu Sun was helped by a
fellow shopkeeper as she pinned the shoplifter
down and hacked off her hair
Other shoplifter’s bizarre methods ensured
that they were brought to justice.
New Jersey thief Anthony DiVietro managed to
escape the clutches of the security guards at
the store he was trying to rob after they
spotted him acting suspiciously and gave
chase.
But DiVietro’s bizarre practice of dancing
while he stole came back to haunt him.
CCTV footage of him showing off his moves
while stuffing his waistband with products he
hadn’t paid for back in 2011 became an
internet hit and he was arrested after someone
recognised him.
