Chikamagalur/UNI: Panic gripped after five bikes were set on fire by unknown miscreants in different localities of the town here, police said here on Tuesday.

The bikes parked in Pension Mohalla, Market Road and Gowri Colony were set ablaze on Monday. Following the incident, the police intensified its patrolling. Senior officers, including SP Harish Pandey, visited the localities.

Pandey said it appears that the mischief was committed by one person.

''One person has gone to three localities and put fire. It seems to be an act of mischief, nothing more than that'', he said.

The police have got CCTV footage from some localities and they are being analysed to identify the accused.

''The accused has avoided main streets but targeted bikes parked in narrow roads of residential localities. We will soon identify him,'' he said.
