A 46-year-old man, Mahesh, from Pallippuram in Alappuzha, was arrested by the Kurumppampady police from Aluva for attempting to steal from two houses, including that of a magistrate, in Pulluvazhi near Perumbavoor.
The incidents took place during the early hours of October 27, when Mahesh allegedly broke into the magistrate’s house and another residence in the neighborhood, knowing that the homeowners were not present.
Mahesh was later apprehended and found to be a suspect in approximately 25 criminal cases registered at various police stations across Kerala. The authorities are now continuing their investigation into his activities.
