Bengaluru: Karthik, the notorious thief involved in more than 100 cases, has once again been caught by police.

Hennuru Police has arrested Karthik alias Escape Karthik (33), a resident of Prakriti Layout in Hennuru. Rs. 12.51 Lakh was recovered from him. A total of 278 grams of gold jewellery has been seized. If Escape Karthik targeted a house, he would break through the balcony and window of the house and snatch gold jewellery, cash before fleeing. In the evenings, he would roam around the City and identify the locked houses. Once it gets dark, he would make two boys watch over and would break the lock of the house with a rod. Further, he would enter the house and steal the gold ornaments. The boys who were once taken to steal were never used again. He used to frequently change the boys to watch over because he was alert that they could leak his information.

He began stealing in 2005 and is an accused in more than 100 cases so far.
