White bandana, jacket sticker help Bengaluru cops nab robbery suspects

Bengaluru: Wilson Garden police have arrested three people who allegedly threatened and attempted to rob a private firm employee in the early hours of November 15.

The arrested suspects are Vikram, 19, Saravana, 20, and Surya, 19, all from Adugodi, police said on Sunday.

Police launched an investigation after a viral video showed three men on a two-wheeler waylaying the victim on his scooter at Shanthinagar and attempting to rob him. The suspects fled when the victim resisted.

Following a complaint, a case was registered.

A distinctive white bandana worn by one of the suspects and a reflective sticker on the jacket of another helped police trace them.

The investigators arrested the trio and learnt during questioning that they had stolen a Honda Dio and used it to threaten the public by displaying weapons.

The suspects confessed to stealing two mobile phones and one silver chain from some people they had threatened, police said.

Further investigation is underway.
