A couple was arrested in 2020 after being suspected of luring thieves to their home before beating them viciously with baseball bats. The two vigilantes didn't stop there - they would record the attacks and post them on YouTube.

The couple would trick potential thieves by leaving a bike unattended in their front yard. Several potential thieves got severe beatings at the couple's California home.

The police statement said that the two would plant an unsecured bicycle in their front yard before waiting for someone to come and steal it:

"Once someone tried to steal the bike, the suspects would rush from the house and assault the individual with a baseball bat."

Four victims were identified during the investigation, and they had experienced some injuries. The injuries were confirmed to be non-life-threatening.
