Karwar: Haliyal police have arrested a lorry theft accused who had been absconding since 2014 after tracing him to a village in Telangana’s Ranga Reddy district.
The accused, identified as Madhu Yuvaraj Aihole of Kudachi in Belagavi district, was wanted in connection with two lorry theft cases registered at Haliyal police station in 2014. Police had arrested six accused persons in connection with the case, and also recovered the stolen property and filed charge sheets before the court.
According to police, Aihole, listed as the fifth accused in the cases, had obtained bail in 2014. As he failed to appear before the court thereafter, a warrant was issued against him, and he remained untraceable for years.

He was arrested on June 13 and produced before the court, which remanded him to judicial custody.
