Amazon jungle villagers lash motorbike thieves to tree crawling with deadly ants

Villagers in the Amazon jungle exacted revenge on two motorbike thieves by lashing them to a tree swarming with deadly ants for THREE DAYS. Authorities say the two thieves, aged 18 and 19, nearly died after being stung by the poisonous fire ants in the attack in Ayopaya, western Bolivia. Dr Roberto Paz, of Bolivia’s Cochabamba hospital, said one was in intensive care while the other needed dialysis for kidney failure. A sister of one of the men - who are accused of stealing three motorbikes - said that villagers had held them for nearly three days.
