Couple Left Bikes In Yard To Lure Thieves, Beat Them With Bats, And Posted Videos On YouTube

The couple, identified as Corey Curnutt and Savannah Grillot, found themselves at the center of controversy for their unconventional approach to deterring bike thefts in their neighborhood.

Residing in Visalia, California, they reportedly concocted a plan that involved deliberately leaving bicycles unattended in their front yard as bait.

The objective was clear: to lure potential thieves into a trap where they would be confronted not just verbally, but physically, with aluminum baseball bats.

Adding a modern twist to their vigilantism, Curnutt and Grillot proceeded to film these encounters and upload the footage onto YouTube, essentially broadcasting their brand of justice to the world.

The duo was arrested at their home on the 200 block of East Dove in Visalia, following an investigation into their activities.

They faced several serious charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy.

The Visalia Police Department, through their investigation, revealed that this pattern of baiting and assaulting purported thieves began in July 2019 and spanned several months, concluding in November 2019.

Moreover, the couple’s decision to share these violent confrontations online added a layer of audacity to their actions.

The content uploaded by Curnutt and Grillot depicted unsuspecting individuals, lured by the seemingly unguarded bicycles, making their move to steal them.

However, these attempts were quickly thwarted as the suspects emerged, baseball bats in hand, to chase down and assault the would-be thieves.
