That article seems a bit too sympathetic to the immigrant. He flat out refused to hand over 2 bottles of wine he wanted to steal. Police couldn't be bothered coming to the supermarket because they had already been there twice that day. The neighbourhood watch boys walk in, take the bottle off him and escort him out, immigrant attacks first, gets punched a couple of times then led out.

I'll be honest, I was really hoping to see him get tied to the tree.

Sheesh, German militia do a better job of policing than actual police. Thief captured with minimal force and hauled out of the store.

The official press statement was that the staff had nothing to do with calling the militia. Might have been any customer with a smartphone.
If Facebook bans them, they will just wander to Russian knock-off VK.com like many right-wing groups already did.

Arnsdorf - On the 21st of May an argument escalated in a "Netto" market in Arnsdorf near Dresden. An Iraqi refugee (21), who is being treated at a Arnsdorf specialized hospital, allegedly has threatened a female employee and the female manager with a bottle of wine.
In reaction to this three unknown men got involved, grabbed the 21-years-old and drove him from the supermarket.
They had marched into the market like a sort of "militia" (vigilantism?) and took "care" of the alleged attacker.
At 1852 the police received a distress call about the incident. When the police arrived, the Iraqui had been bound with cable tie to a tree in the parking lot of the Netto market.
The three men informed the police that they had subdued the Iraqi to protect the employees at the super market. EMTs attended to the 21-years-old and took him back to the hospital.
Before the alleged threatening with the wine bottle, the man had entered the Netto market twice and complained about a bought prepaid phone card that didn't function.
A female employee noticed that the deposit on the card had already been used up. Witnesses tell that the man became furious and threatened the employee with the wine bottle.
The police are investigating against the Iraqi for threatening. Against the three men who subdued the man investigations are undertaken for kidnapping. The police are investigating along with the Staatsschutz [domestic security agency].
The police are looking for witnesses oft he incident. The tip line is 03581/468100.
Update 2040: According to "sz-online" one of the four men is CDU member of town council Detlef Oelsner.
The politician refused to give an official statement to the Sächsische Zeitung [local newspaper].He is only alleged to have said that they had "shown civil courage" and that "the same would have been for every other victim". He added: "Even they hadn't been German".
As "sz-online" reports, the police had visited Oelsner Wednesday. Major Martina Angermann (SPD) allegedly knows the other three men. She will tell the police the names at an appointment in Kamenz.

That would be entertaining to see those guys walk into a merkel press conference and escort her out like that.

He was probably pissed out of his mind.
I've seen arabs chimp-out in France when they drink.
So much for alcohol being haram.

So the public has stepped in to take care of the issue the state should be taking care of?
Sounds like the people of Germany are getting fed up with the lack of action and they taking issues into their own hands. Good.

Basically yes. After the New York Eve events in Cologne, several militias and neighbourhood watches have formed despite the politicians decrying them as neo-nazi thugs holding cowboy courts.
So far most have simply been slacktivist Facebook groups and passive watch/patrol groups. This is the first time I know of one of these groups has actually taken action and physically prevented a crime as it was happening.
Expect the DA to throw charges of hate crime, excessive self-defence, racial discrimination and everything else he can think of at them until one of them sticks. It would set a bad example if someone would show the people that they can uncucken themselves and don't need Her Merkelstys Benevolent Big State to protect them.

It's kind of sad because Germany is a beautiful country. A conflict between two strongly opinionated cultures, the Germans who want to keep things as is and the Refugees/Hidden Malitia who are looking to occupy and convert, might destroy Germany...

That is the first time I noticed the term "cowboy courts". As someone from the states, I approve this quiloqualism in spite of its negative connotation.
