Fleeing burglars leave bike behind

DENPASAR: Police arrested two burglars shortly after they broke into a villa on Jl. Laksamana in Seminyak, Badung regency, at dawn on Tuesday.

Rough August, 32, was shot in the left leg while trying to flee from his boarding room in Kerobokan, while Ronald Ulur, 33, surrendered after police raided his room at a motel in Legian.

Kuta Police chief of detectives First Insp. Made Karsa said the two men panicked after the villa owner returned from clubbing to find them trying to make off with several items, including a DVD player, clothes, glasses, a bag and a cell phone charger.

"The two suspects ran through the vast rice paddy behind the villa, but they left their motorcycle behind. The villa owner then contacted the police," he said.

"When we checked the motorcycle's registration, we found it belonged to a rental company." - JP
