: Sixty four motorbikes were seized from the property of a man who specialised in stealing two wheelers, police said today.
The man was caught red handed by a two wheeler owner when he was trying to steal his bike near the central bus stand and was handed over to police.
Police said the man made forged documents, changed the number and owner's name after stealing the bikes and sold the two wheelers at a good price. All 64 bikes were parked on land he purchased after selling the two wheelers. He owned two houses, one at Woriyur and another at Thathaiyengarpettai near Musiri, they said.
