He said no and the informant replied that some men were taking items from his room. He quickly rushed to his house with a motorbike.

The robbers were three but the one who got caught was the one inside the room, bringing out the stuff for the others to convey into their car which was parked at a distance. When the two saw the man arriving at his house, they quickly left with the stolen items leaving the other in the house.
The owner of the house called for some area boys who were around. They caught the thief and beat him up brutally. They took off his clothes and beat him up.
