Last week while me and a few other friends were having a meal of steam-boat at Taynton, i had the chance to watch someone - which in particular was a thieve got one-hell of a beating. As we sat down and begun ordering we saw this 4 men group of Rela walking past and sat 2 tables beside us. Right after we finish our meal and paid for it, we overheard some commotion at the end of street, like some 100 feet away, a group of men was walking towards the street. With one indian men shouting some profanities. I later found out that indian men was a policemen - an Inspector.

I was curios and was the first fucker among my group to walk towards them, few of my friends followed right after they settled the bill and got the change. As i was walking towards them, i could hear the beating with a helmet, the Indian men was shouting to the thieve - asking him where he hidden the loot, i was curios and i asked this other lady at the scene, it seems that her Volvo was broken into a while ago and she got some help from this Indian CID friend and some other Rela member were on the lookout for suspicious characters when they found this guy which looks like a drug addict sitting by the corner at the crime scene.

The thief was spotted when someone from the top of the shops recognised the thief and alerted the Rela. Within seconds the crowd grew to a huge crowd of somewhere 20 people. The lady owner of the car was trying to hold back her friend which was stomping the thief's head with his foot. Then the Indian CID was slapping the thief, and kept on shouting at him, and asked him to take off his shoes, and was finding for a cane. The Rela guys proceeded to cuff the theif - and i did'nt even knew Rela could go around and cuff peoples. The thief was saying he was only there making a phone call and was waiting for a friend nearby. He was saying that he is from Ulek, some 2 km away.

They began searching for the loot .... while another one was calling in for a Police Patrol car to pick the thief up. The asked for the thief's IC and he was yelling for pain instead, one helped him up and asked again if he had an IC with him, to which he replied none, and there was a motorcycle there, he claimed it was his, but then when asked where is the road-tax slip, he said its expired. Eventhough if he was not the real thief - but he matches all the description a thief needs. Then he got another round of beating, and the Rela begun searching him, and found a wallet, with his IC! how weird is that - as he replied he had forgoten bout his IC - the Rela guy gave him some hell of a slapping.

When they asked again where he is from, he said he is from Cuepacs, one of the chinese guy there went furious and hit him in the head as he had lied earlier saying he is from Ulek and now saying he is from a different place. Within 10 minutes - a group of bikers, 4 of them arrived, i thought they were his friends or so, but later turned out they were CID, damn they really do look like those Mat Rempit or so. They were briefed by the Rela on what had happened and begun taking down statements from the car owner. Then the police begun asking the thief some question and begun slapping him. We started walking away when we saw this as we know police are not in favor of us wathching them "at-work".

When we drove away we saw a Police Patrol car arriving.
