Following a video trending on the popular microblogging platform X formerly known as Twitter, an unusual punishment has been meted out to a group of thieves who attempted to steal alcohol from a South African shop.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the thieves being forced to consume the very bottles of beer they tried to steal.

The incident occurred when the thieves broke into the shop with the intent of stealing alcoholic beverages, according to the report.

However, their plans were foiled, and they were confronted with an unusual form of justice.

Some social media users have expressed mixed feelings about the incident, with opinions divided on whether such a form of punishment is appropriate.

There is speculation about the impact of the forced alcohol consumption on the thieves’ kidneys and overall well-being, with some fearing that it could lead to severe health complications or even death.
