Kovarkolli Indresh

Mangaluru, Jan. 30: The Barke police in Mangaluru have arrested an inter-district thief who was targeting the bags of passengers at bus stands.

The accused has been identified as Mohammed Imran (44), a resident of Dasawala Road, Madikeri. The police have seized 46.28 grams of gold jewellery worth Rs 6,47,920 and Rs 5,000 in cash from him.

On the 23rd, he had noticed a group of two elderly women and a senior citizen who were ready to leave for Bangalore at the Bejai KSRTC bus stand. When they were sitting in the bus and had kept their bags next to them, he snatched the bag and fled in a split second, seeing that their attention was elsewhere. He used to steal valuable bags of passengers at bus stands when they were passing out or in a hurry to board the bus. The arrested Imran continued his activities not only in Mangalore but also in many districts including Hassan and Mysore. A total of 11 cases have been registered against him, including 7 in various police stations in Hassan and 1 in Mysore. This includes not only the theft of bags at the bus stand but also cases of housebreaking and theft. Earlier, the court had issued a warrant against him, who had absconded without appearing in court after getting bail in a house theft case in Hassan. The accused was arrested with the help of the Madikeri DCRB division and handed over to the Mangalore police.
