Mangaluru, Aug 24: Two bikes and weapons were found in a secluded spot on a hillock at Saripalla, Kulshekar here on Monday August 24.
It is learnt that a group of youths spotted two bikes lying seemingly abandoned on the hillock, and when they checked, they found weapons near them.
The youths then looked around for the owners of the bikes, and found two persons sitting inside a tent among the trees. However, when they saw the youths coming their way, they fled and managed to escape.
The youths then informed the police who arrived at the spot and investigated. Mosquito repellent coils were found in the tent, indicating that they might have pitched the tent on the previous night.
The two bikes along with machetes, sickles and a rod were seized by the police.
It is suspected that the bikes were stolen and that the two persons who fled from the tent might have been hatching a plan to commit a crime.
Mangaluru rural police are investigating.
