Staff Reporter

Thiruvananthapuram: The Rural police have arrested three more persons in connection with the recent instances of dacoity during night reported from the suburban areas of the district.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Attingal, B. Sasidharan said the suspects were members of the same migrant group from Tamil Nadu who were arrested in this connection on Friday.
