Bid to steal earthmover, two arrested

Four persons have been arrested for trying to steal an earthmover at Veerabhadra Nagar near Hosakerehalli on Saturday night.

The Rajarajeshwari Nagar police said Sathish and Ravikumar were driving the vehicle when it accidentally hit a two-wheeler the suspects were riding.

An argument broke out between both the sides and stones were pelted at the earth mover damaging its windshield. The suspects pushed the duo from the earthmover and started to drive it away.

Later, Sathish called his friends, who nabbed them and handed over to the police.

The police said the suspects said that they did intend to steal the vehicle. But as the two raised their voices despite hitting their bike, they tried to drive away the earthmover.
