Police Kurnool arrested six people on Saturday, including five minors, for theft of valuables from Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) Manager in Kurnool, a few days ago. The defendant committed a crime by learning to break the opening of the castles through YouTube, the police said.
The theft took place in the house Sardar Hussain, who is a depot-i manager, and lives in Sai Vibhav Nagar in the city. The incident occurred when Mr. Hussain left for Hyderabad to take part in his office together with his family members.
