Man caught trying to steal audio system from truck
A youth in his early 20s was caught while trying to steal an audio system from a goods vehicle parked on Hosur Road in Madiwala.
The incident occurred post-midnight on Wednesday. Police sources said a group of three men tried to break into the driver’s cabin without realising that the driver was sleeping inside.
The driver was woken up by the noise and caught a man, identified as Santosh.
He attacked the driver with a knife. However, employees of a two-wheeler showroom nearby rushed to the truck on hearing the commotion and overpowered Santosh.
He was handed over to the Madiwala police.
His associates, who were waiting on a bike, fled from the scene.
