The suspects were intercepted during a routine night patrol by Vazhikkadavu Police while transporting the materials. During the vehicle inspection, officers became suspicious after one of the occupants fled the scene. A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of the aluminium line conductors, which had been concealed beneath a tarpaulin.

Police later identified the individual who fled as Thomas. Further investigation confirmed that the recovered conductors had been stolen from the Vazhikkadavu KSEB office, following which he was traced and arrested.

The arrests were carried out by a police team led by Inspector Mithun KP of Vazhikkadavu Police Station, along with Senior Civil Police Officer Sujith and Civil Police Officers Sanju and Rajmohan.

The accused were produced before the court and have been remanded to judicial custody.
