Chinese shopkeeper hacks off thief's hair off as punishment

A Chinese shoplifter busted stuffing clothes in her bag was given a short, sharp punishment by the store's owner — who hacked off her hair. 

Shocked shoppers watched as Lu Sun, 32, weary of shoplifters, pinned down Li Wu and took a pair of scissors to her lusciously long dark locks.

Sun said the vigilante justice was a warning to other thieves who keep hitting her income.

And she warned crooks planning to target her Wenzhou store in future that she has now has a "key eye" for who they are.

"I watch so many people everyday, so I can tell thieves from others easily," she said.
"When I noticed her sneaking around in shopping mall, I knew she was up to no good.
