The two thieves had reportedly stolen Sh100,000 (around $700) from a woman on a bus that was heading to the town of Kitengela back on September 27th.

The victim initially reported the crime to the police, but then later decided to take matters into her own hands by visiting a witch doctor who apparently set a swarm of bees upon her two assailants.Sure enough, the thieves were later seen wandering through the streets with thousands of bees swarming all over them - much to the surprise of passers-by.

They initially attempted to find the victim's house to give the money back to her, but ended up visiting a police station and handing the money back there instead.

Incredibly, the bees reportedly flew off once the money was no longer in their hands.

"I have never seen such a thing and I have never believed in such, but it happened," said Kitengela Police Station OCS David Shani.
