Maduravoyal police have arrested two men for stealing cattle wandering the road.

The accused M Ramesh (41) alias Iyyapan and Y Sarathy (18) of Nolambur were secured during a vehicle check when they were trying to smuggle the cattle in a mini truck.

While they tried to flee upon noticing police at Adayalampattu in the wee hours of Saturday, police personnel secured them after a chase and investigation revealed that they were smuggling the cows which they stole from Parivakkam. 

Two cows and the mini-truck were seized from him. A hunt has been launched for R Jagan (23), a history-sheeter, who managed to flee when police chased them.
