The North East division police arrested him in Kerala and recovered articles worth Rs 30 lakh, including gold jewellery from the 28-year-old. A habitual burglar, Karthik, had entered police records in 2005 when he was just 16 and has since been arrested more than 15 times by Bengaluru police and their counterparts in other districts, an officer said on Saturday. A wanted criminal in more than 76 house burglary and robbery cases, Kartik is a resident of Kalyan Nagar. Police said they arrested Kartik in Kerala on credible information given by two of his associates, who the CCB police had arrested earlier.

His henchmen, who were arrested eventually, revealed his location," police said.
