2025.1.10 Second heist foiled: Kerala Police nab UP natives behind robbery at former jail DIG’s house
Thiruvananthapuram: Two men from Uttar Pradesh were arrested for robbing the house of retired DIG S Santosh in Karamana.
The robbery took place at the DIG’s residence, located near the Nedumkad pump house, while the family was away in Alappuzha on Christmas Day. The robbers broke open the back door of the house and made off with 20 grams of gold and expensive watches.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Manoj Kumar (26) and Vijay Kumar (25). They were apprehended by Karamana Police, with help from the shadow police, while attempting another robbery in Thiruvalla.
The police identified the suspects through CCTV footage showing them carrying a bag near Nedumkad. Further investigation revealed they had stayed at a lodge near Thampanoor. By tracking their mobile phones, the police found they had returned to Kerala by train.
The accused reportedly scouted unoccupied houses during the day and carried out thefts at night. The arrests were made by a team led by Fort AC Prasad, Karamana CI Anoop, and CPOs Harish Lal and Hiran, along with City Shadow SI Umesh and officers Harilal and Shamnad.
