When mob justice comes into play, all pretenses of loyalty are off, at least they were for one accomplice who managed to flee while his necklace-snatching partner was caught by a crowd in the capital’s Chamkarmon district on Wednesday afternoon.

Police say the victim was strolling when the 20-year-old suspect made his move. Reacting quickly, the woman yelled “thief”.

While the mob caught the suspect and handed him over to the cops, the identity of his fair-weather friend is unknown.
