According to Cyberabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar, accused persons once in a year leave their houses to commit theft and come towards South India.

They select a house to commit theft and enter into the house with a bag posing as purchasers of flats. If they found any flat locked, they break open it with a specially prepared rod and rob gold ornaments, silver items and also net cash.

Like so, after committing offence in one place, they move to another State and commit offences. They change the vehicle number depending on which State they currently move to commit robbery. They change the number plates back to original after committing the offence.
