The Malwani police on Thursday arrested a man for a daylight robbery of metal plates installed on the road. However, his accomplice, who has been traced to Mumbra, is still at large.

According to the police sources, on Monday at around 8 am, the robbers noticed the BMC contractor place a metal sheet on the dug up part of the road to ensure smooth traffic flow. When the contractor visited the spot later, he saw the metal plate missing. He then registered a police complaint against unidentified robbers.
