6 of them by the look of it:

four people were subsequently dealt with for the initial theft of
lighting equipment from the site.

2 people done for kidnapping. Obviously they should have reported that
they had caught a suspected criminal and contacted the police

Fortunately we do not have rule by lynch mob.


And the kidnappers pleaded guilty. So there was not much chance of a not
guilty verdict.

When does 'citizens arrest' become kidnapping?
