A 25-year-old man wanted in a series of burglaries reported from Rayalaseema districts was arrested on Friday and found with gold ornaments weighing 98 grams, about 400 grams of silver articles and ₹54,500 in cash.
The accused, identified as Shaik Babavali of YSR Nagar in Nandyal, was nabbed during a routine vehicle check near Nagulakatta on Nandamuri Nagar Road in the city.
Police said Babavali tried to escape on a motorcycle without a number plate, raising suspicions about his possible involvement in bike thefts.
