A notorious and daring motorbike thief, who operates within the Upper East Region and in Burkina Faso, has been arrested and subjected to bloodcurdling torture by Burkinabé “bush guards”.

According to sources the daring young thief was tracked and arrested after he had successfully deprived many persons of their new motorbikes in especially Paga, Navrongo and the border towns of Burkina Faso.

Upon his arrest, he promptly confessed his crime in a bit to attract some leniency but the ruthless guards could not be persuaded. He was then taken to a makeshift torture camp where he was mercilessly punished.

The stealing of motorbikes, especially the Honda brand, in the Upper East has become a daily occurrence which has left many victims frustrated.

He was heard in Kasem asking his captors to temper justice with mercy saying “I will not do it again. Please forgive me because it is the work of the devil. I promise to live a decent life henceforth.
