The police on January 30, 2025 (Thursday) arrested three persons in connection with the burglary of 136 sovereigns of jewellery and ₹3 lakh from a house at Mahalingapuram near Pollachi in Coimbatore district.
Madurai natives S. Vairamani, 24, M. Manishankar, 32, and J. Karthik, 37, were arrested for the burglary reported at the residence of J. Karthik, a dentist by profession.
The house was burgled when Mr. Karthik went to Kerala along with family members on January 12. A neighbour alerted him on January 14 that the lock of the front door was broken. Mr. Karthik returned from Kerala and lodged a complaint with the Mahalingapuram police.
Coimbatore District Superintendent of Police K. Karthikeyan formed special teams to crack the burglary. The police examined visuals from 280 surveillance cameras and traced the car used by the burglars. Though they used two fake number plates while escaping, the police teams managed to arrest them and recover the stolen property.
