Chikmagalur: In an incident that occurred on Saturday, two burglars were apprehended for attempting a day-light robbery near the A.C.T Circle in the city. The perpetrators are in the custody of the police. 

The accused have been identified as Sachin and Mohan, both residents of Chikmagalur. 

The burglars Sachin and Mohan allegedly parked their bike near the residence of former CDA president, Chandregowda, at A.C.T Circle and broke into Chandregowda’s house wearing helmets, while brandishing knives. It is learned that the duo then tied the hands and covered the mouth of the homeowner’s wife and attempted to rob their house. 

The couple’s son had reportedly alerted the locals, who then tried to apprehend the burglars while they were trying to escape. The duo had threatened the locals with their knives and boarded their vehicle when the locals cried out and alerted the driver of the fire service vehicle who was allegedly in the area. 

The driver of the Fire Service vehicle then prevented the bike from escaping by colliding into it and causing the two-wheeler to fall on the road. The locals then began pelting stones at the burglars, who tried to run away from the scene and successfully caught them and later handed them to the police.  

The video of the incident has gone viral on social networking sites.

With regards to the attempted burglary, a case has been registered at the City’s Police Station.
