Recently, a complaint was lodged at the police station that a bicycle was stolen from a house near Attappadi in Palakkad district of Kerala.

Inspector Vinod Krishnan was shocked when he found the thief as it turned out to be an eight-year-old boy. The class 3 student admitted to stealing a small bicycle from the house next door out of desire to ride a bicycle. The police retrieved the bicycle from him and handed it over to the owner.

The boy was later sent home after counseling. Later, the police went to the boy’s house and gifted him a new bicycle. The boy happily accepted the gift and promised that he will never steal again.
