Bengaluru:  32-year-old man was arrested for stealing several bikes in Rajajinagar, Bengaluru. Police officals have seized 7 bikes from him.

The arrested identified as Bharath would keep an eye on the bikes parked outside the houses in his neighborhood.

He would then identify a few bikes and write down their numbers. Later, using the Bengaluru traffic police app, he would check whether the vehicle has any pending traffic violation fines.

Bharath would only steal those vehicles which had no pending fines. But, instead of reselling the vehicle, he would gift the stolen bikes to his relatives to avoid getting caught.

Police officials claim that he has gifted more than 10 vehicles to his relatives.
