Thief forced to eat bowl of pepper after he was caught in the act

What is the best form of punishment to be given to a thief when he's caught in the act?

According to a viral video shared online, members of a community chose a rather 'unique' way to punish a thief who was caught in the act.

The residents punished him by asking him to eat a bowl of yellow pepper instead of beating him for his crime.

The people in the video appeared to be speaking French while engaging the thief in a 'question and answer session'.
