Police Crack Down on Midnight Robbery Gang
Bengaluru police have successfully apprehended a five-member criminal gang responsible for a series of robberies across the city. The arrests came after multiple complaints about late-night attacks on random pedestrians.
Violent Attacks on Students
According to senior police officials, the gang specifically operated around midnight, targeting vulnerable individuals. In one particularly disturbing incident in Mylasandra, the suspects attacked two students from Kerala and stole their mobile phones.
The police investigation revealed that the gang had been active for several weeks, choosing their victims randomly and striking during late hours when streets were relatively empty. The arrested five individuals are now in custody and facing multiple charges.
Enhanced Night Patrols
Following these incidents, Bengaluru police have increased night patrols in vulnerable areas. Authorities have also advised citizens to remain cautious when walking alone after dark and to avoid displaying valuable items like mobile phones in public during late hours.
The successful operation demonstrates police commitment to tackling street crime in India's technology capital. The arrests were made on November 18, 2025, according to official statements.
