Twisted cop jailed for CRUCIFYING 'thief' with sign saying 'Thou shall not steal'

Carlos Alberto Flores used duct tape to pin alleged pickpocket Victor Robledo to a makeshift wooden cross.

The overzealous cop covered Mr Robledo's entire head in the industrial tape - with just a hole near his nose to breathe through.

ROUGH JUSTICE: Victor Robledo was given a harsh punishment for alleged theft

Mr Robledo, 27, was in state of hypothermia at a roadside in the Argentine province of Cordoba.

He was discovered by a shocked member of the public who called cops anonymously in May 2014.
