Yesterday, officers from Gianyar regency’s Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) escorted a Russian tourist to a mental hospital in Bangli regency after she allegedly exhibited disturbing behavior at the villa she was staying at.

Bali Governor Wayan Koster said he will go forward with his plans to advise islanders to consider having four children even if his policy is rejected by the central government. 

“Even if it is not approved [by the central government], we will go ahead with it anyway,” Koster said on Wednesday, as reported by Detik.

Police said that the man – identified by his initial, A – who desecrated the altar at Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Denpasar yesterday was chronically depressed and is now being treated at Sanglah General Hospital.

Police in Bali have arrested yet another Bulgarian national for alleged ATM skimming. The  suspect, identified by police as Krasimir Stoykov, was arrested yesterday in Seminyak. 

“The suspect connected a skimming device in the form of a router, which also came with a flash disk and hidden camera, used to extract data,” Bali Police’s general crime director, Andi Fairan, said today, as reported by Merdeka.

Bali Immigration yesterday denied having charged an extra fee to a Czech tourist who had overstayed his Indonesian visa after the latter claimed that he was asked to pay more than what was written on his receipt.
