In a joint raid, the Chittoor and Vijayawada Commissionerate police unearthed a red sanders dump at New Auto Nagar on the city outskirts and seized nine tonnes of red sanders on Monday.

On a tip off, the team headed by Chittoor Sub-Inspector Munuswamy conducted the raid on a godown near Penamaluru and seized the red sander logs. Police took the godown owner, Ravi Kumar, in to custody, said Chittoor Superintendent of Police G. Srinivas.

“We arrested two smugglers along with Mr. Ravi Kumar. Police are trying to find out from where the red sander logs were transported, since how long the material was stored and other details,” the SP said.
