Manipal Police Arrest Two Members of Interstate ‘TATTO 313’ Burglary Gang

On Sunday, residents of Manipal were alerted by the local police after two suspects linked to the interstate burglary outfit ‘TATTO 313’ were taken into custody. The arrest, executed at a shop in the city’s commercial belt, came after intelligence indicated the duo was planning a series of break‑ins in the area.

The two arrested men, aged 28 and 31, had previously been implicated in several high‑profile burglaries that spanned the Udupi District and neighboring districts. Law‑enforcement officials confirmed that they were part of a larger network that had targeted residential houses and boutique stores across Karnataka, exploiting gaps in security and attempting to profit from stolen goods. Sources within the police department revealed that the operation followed a tip‑off from a confidential informant who received a warning letter from the state crime branch.

The arrests are a significant blow to ‘TATTO 313’, which has been under surveillance since a 2023 crackdown that yielded several convictions. Authorities say that the removal of two key members will slow down the gang’s activities and signal to other criminal groups that the law is tightening its grip on interstate theft syndicates. The case is currently pending in the Udupi Sessions Court, where charges of burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property are expected to proceed. Source: Google News – Manipal.
