The two vehicles were seized and three persons identified as Vinod Kumar of Sandror kuppam and Murugan and Khaja Nawaz of Vaniyambadi town were arrested in this connection. Locals in a fervent plea to the new district SP demanded that illegal sand mining in Sandrorkuppam, Samiyarmadam and Devalapuram areas falling under the Ambur town police station limits by a mafia using carts be stopped immediately.
