Karkala :  The Karkala police in a swift operation have arrested one person and seized one kg of gold which he along with four others had looted from the Karnataka Jewellers in  the town  late night on September 17, Tuesday.

It is learnt the five who arrived by a Scorpio vehicle had brandished weapons and looted  one kg of gold  just when the staff were about to close the shop.

The police were immediately alerted and following a Nakabandi, the police at Hiriadka intercepted a suspected car. As the car was stopped, the five men inside tried to force the cops to flee by brandishing weapons. But the police managed to nab one and seize the gold, while four others escaped.

The identity of the arrested man is yet to be ascertained. Police have launched a manhunt to nab the four other accused.

Investigations are underway.
