Coimbatore: Police are on the lookout for four mysterious persons who stole a couple of two-wheelers parked at a private hostel in Coimbatore.

Raghuvaran (33) who hails from Papanasam Ayyampatti in Thanjavur district, works as a welder and stays at a private hostel in Coimbatore. On May 11, Raghuvaran parked his two-wheeler at the hostel premises as usual after returning from work.
