Three suspected thieves have been paraded naked through town by angry locals.

The incident took place in Tierra y Libertad and La Playita in Tabasco State, Mexico, on 9 April.

Footage shows one man wearing nothing but a cardboard sign as he walks along the road.

The sign reportedly reads: “This happened to me for stealing.”

In the next scene, the alleged thief is seen walking along the side of the road with another naked man also carrying a sign.

Residents stare at the nude suspects as they are allegedly forced to wander the streets as a form of punishment.

Although only two nude men are seen in the clip, local reports said there were three men in total.

The alleged thieves were accused of burgling homes and stealing motorbikes in the area.

A crowd apprehended them as they allegedly tried to steal a vehicle, before forcing them to strip and walk.

One furious resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told local media: “We want this to serve as a lesson to others.

“So that they know that we will never tolerate stealing in Tierra y Libertad.”

After the public display, the alleged thieves were handed over to the police, as reported by Need To Know.

Authorities have confirmed that the suspects are being investigated for a string of robberies in the area and could face multiple charges.
