Thiruvananthapuram, May 22: Last week, the Thiruvananthapuram police arrested a notorious man, named Edwin who was accused of breaking into and robbing over 15 houses in the Neyattikara district, Kerala. According to a report on News Minute, the modus operandi of the thief stands out, which includes him stripping down completely, and wearing his underwear on his head so that people fail to recognise him. He is also referred to as the 'naked thief' or 'nagna moshtavu' .

Police had to go through several CCTV footages to understand the way he operates; it is believed that before entering the houses, the thief undresses completely, and keeps his clothes somewhere in the bike. Reportedly, all the thefts are well planned; the bikes keep changing as he steals one vehicle for the night, and leaves it there and steals another one to avoid being caught.

27-year old Edwin is reportedly a law student, he is in judicial custody, and a further probe will take place on the thefts.
