Police in Lagos de Moreno, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, are reportedly searching for an unidentified person who has been dubbed the “Mexican Batman” after allegedly chasing down suspected motorbike thieves and binding them to street poles with duct tape.
According to The Sun, at least five men have been found tied to lampposts over the past two weeks, with their mouths taped shut and the word “thief” written across their faces. The unidentified local is said to have taken these measures in response to what has been described as a large rise in bike thefts in the area.
