Bicycle thief arrested in Chennai

According to the police, Babu was into stealing bicycles around Ashok Nagar, West Mambalam and Saidapet areas. The police analysed the CCTV footage and gathered information about the whereabouts of the man and finally nabbed him from near Railway Border Road.

“He used to steal the bicycles that cost around Rs 8,000 – Rs 10,000, and spent a large share of the stolen amount on alcohol. He used to visit these areas frequently and gained familiarity. The accused was arrested Wednesday and remanded in judicial custody Thursday,” Ashok Nagar Inspector S Subramanian told The Indian Express.
