A burglar was left tied to a street lamp after he was caught breaking into a home in central Mexican state of Guanajuato.

Christopher Daniel Chayoga and several other accomplices were chased through the Irapuato neighborhood of Villa de Lourdes on Sunday morning, after they were seen leaving the residence with a bicycle and a pair of sneakers.

Mexican newspaper El Sol de Irapuato reported that the owners of the home were not present at the time of the robbery. 

Neighbors caught Chayoga and a video of the citizen's arrest showed him leaning against wooden pole on a street corner with his entire body, minus his face, wrapped in plastic.

Tied to him was a sign proclaiming what he'd been caught for. 

Chayoga was placed under the custody of the Public Ministry pending official charges.

The other suspects are still on the run as of Monday.
