The accused relocated to Hubli a month ago after committing the crimes with his family and had also disposed of his mobile phones to evade the police.

During interrogation, the police found that the accused had allegedly stolen several cars and sold them to scrap dealer Fiaz Ahmed Mohibbul Haquem (54) in Mumbai's Kurla area, who was also arrested, the official said.

At least six vehicles were seized from the duo, which were stolen from the limits of Rabale, Sahar, Kalwa, Mumbra, Mulund and Govandi police stations.
