DRUGS CARTEL HORRIFIC REVENGE AGAINST R@TS
Drug cartel's horrific revenge against 'rats': Thieves roll on the ground in agony after Mexican gang cuts their HANDS off in warning to others
Horrific footage of vigilantes severing the hands of seven suspected thieves has emerged.
The video, filmed in the Mexican state of Jalisco, shows two of the terrified men and one woman bound and gagged rolling around on the floor.
Police carrying guns attempt to help the injured group as they clutch plastic-covered stumps where their hands once were.
In the background a person can be heard saying: 'An ambulance is coming, an ambulance is coming, you have to stay here.'
A police officer is also heard asking the men: 'Where are you from?' One of the alleged thieves then replies: 'We haven't eaten anything for four days.'
The man lying on the ground is asked why he was kidnapped, but he makes no reply.
One of the victims reportedly died before he could get medical treatment and the other six were in critical condition in hospital.
The footage was released as two men were arrested in connection with the crime.
Prosecutor Eduardo Almaguer Ramirez from Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, later confirmed that all of those attacked had criminal records for crimes including robbery and drug dealing.
Local media reported that the reason for the attach was 'vigilante justice', and the latest in a string of similar attacks on people accused of being involved in crime.
Some of the injured group allegedly claimed that the punishment was inflicted by drug dealers because they had stolen cash while making sales and were mutilated as a warning to others.
The tortured men were found with the message 'Elite antirratas' pinned to their bodies, which means 'Elite group against rats'.
Journalist Ciro Gomez Leyva posted the video which shows two thieves, one without a shirt, lying on the ground and looking at the plastic wrapped stumps sealed with Sellotape.
Prosecutors say they believe that the attackers belonged to the Cartel of Jalisco Nueva Generacion (Jalisco Cartel New Generation, CJNG), which was the same gang being investigated by Vicente Antonio Bermudez Zacarias- the judge who was shot dead while jogging.
His death has also been linked to El Chapo Guzman as he was one the judges dealing with the drug lord's extradition process.
The investigation is ongoing.
