A dry-cleaning shop owner in Papua New Guinea has found a unique way of encouraging thieves to clean up their behaviour: giving them a steam cleaning.
Police in the northeast coastal town of Lae said a 20-year-old man suffered burns and scalding to his abdomen, chest and back after the owner turned a steam cleaner on him after he was caught stealing pants worth 14 kina (2.80 pounds).
"The owner has done this to many people already," police spokesman Nema Mondiai said.
Police seemed unconcerned about the radical punishment and released the thief after being assured he had learned his lesson.
