The arrests were made on Friday morning following swift action by the crime team of Afzalgunj Police Station.
According to the police, the case began on 19 November 2025, when complainant Dasa Sai Kumar, a resident of Ashok Bazar, Afzalgunj, reported that his brother’s Honda Shine (TS09 EY 9868) had been stolen from their residential parking area. He had parked the bike on the night of 18 November and discovered it missing the next morning.
Acting on the complaint, a team led by SHO N. Ravi, Detective Inspector B. Ravi Kiran, DSI V. Narender Reddy, and crime staff members swung into action. On 21 November 2025 at 9:30 AM, the police apprehended three suspects, who later confessed to the theft and admitted that they had also attempted burglaries at two houses by breaking open locks.

The police recovered the stolen Honda Shine (TS09 EY 9868) related to Crime No. 462/2025 (PS Afzalgunj). Additionally, several tools and articles used for committing offences were seized, including scissors-made keys, woolen gloves, mobile phones, a file tool, and a knife measuring 31 cm.
