The Crime Branch Unit-XII on Wednesday arrested a 51-year-old man wanted in over 100 crimes for the past 15 years from Pune. On Thursday, they produced Santosh Nair in a city court which remanded him in police custody till Monday.

The police said they were looking for Nair since March 8, 2004, when he and his associates had attempted to rob a diamond factory in Dahisar. Their attempt was foiled by the police, which had received a tip off and laid a trap at the site. The police arrested four members of his gang, but Nair fled.
