The arrested have been identified as Prakash, Sujeeth Farooq, Hamza Kunhali, Parvat Singh and Abdul Sattar, Karwar SP R Dilip told PTI here.
While Parvat Singh and Prakash are natives of Rajasthan and Karnataka respectively, the rest are from Kerala, he added.
The gang was intercepted at Ankola on a tip-off given by Rajasthan Police, Dilip said.
