Kasargod, Jan 13: A police team, under the leadership of DySP Balakrishnan Nair, successfully arrested an inter-state thief identified as Shibu P R (52). Shibu, a resident of Amballur in Thrissur, Kerala, had multiple theft cases filed against him in police stations across Karnataka and Kerala. Notably, he had been released on November 16 after completing a sentence for his previous crimes.
The arrest unfolded after Shibu attempted to escape police custody on January 6 during an alleged theft operation under the jurisdiction of the Chandera police station. While his accomplice, Shibili, was apprehended at that time, Shibu managed to evade arrest until Saturday when the police successfully took him into custody.
Authorities revealed that Shibu is involved in various theft cases registered in multiple locations, including Payyangadi, Talasherry, Mahe, Hosadurga, Bekala, Chandera, Kannur, Valapattana, Taliparamba, Mattannur, Balasherry, Palakkad, and Kozhikode in Kerala, as well as Sullia and Udupi in Karnataka.
