Burglars Steal Maruti Swift From OLX Retailer, Nabbed By Kerala Police

Recently, Bengaluru police caught a thief who introduces himself as a buyer and meets vehicle sellers via OLX, later lifting the motorcycle itself. This time around, however, the police officials posted an advertisement on OLX to entice the burglar to grab that deal, which directed him to get nabbed by the cops. A similar case has now happened in Mukkam in Kerala, where two car thieves got caught by the police for stealing a Maruti Swift. The robbers stole the car by giving an excuse of taking an inspection drive. The report suggests that the stolen Maruti Swift was confiscated on Wednesday at 11 am in Neeleshwaram near Mukkam. The owner of this Maruti Swift posted an ad regarding the sale of his car on OLX. Afterwards, the thief showed interest in buying his car from the owner. Both the parties agreed to meet on July 23 at Pandikkad. The burglar scrutinized the car properly and told the owner that he liked the car but wants to take a test drive before settling the deal. However, the thief managed to escape with the car during test drive and then the owner filed a complaint at the nearest local police station for assistance.
