‘Kuruva’ thieves arrested recently; police suspect another gang is in the city
The Kozhikode City police have intensified surveillance, especially at night, following reports that the infamous ‘Kuruva’ thieves have entered the city. A recent meeting of Assistant Commissioners convened by District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) A.V. George decided to take action against anyone who was out in the city at night without sufficient reason.
Recently, members of a ‘Kuruva’ gang had burgled a house under Elathur police station limits and were later arrested. But, the police suspect another gang is also in the city at present.
Breaking into houses at night is the usual modus operandi of the ‘Kuruva’ gangs. Besides destroying property and stealing, they reportedly attack residents too.
