A man arrested for stealing phones in Bali gave a very simple explanation as to why he got started as a thief.
Gunawan, 25, from Banyuwangi said his salary working at a mechanic’s in Ungasan was not enough so he was ‘compelled to act outside of the law,’ reports to Tribun Bali.
“We arrested the suspect on Friday, February 17, 2017. We arrested him at approximately 10:30 pm,” South Kuta Police Commissioner I Wayan Latra said on Saturday, as quoted by Tribun Bali.
Police say it turns out Gunawan wasn’t just stealing phones, but had also engaged in muggings and other actions of theft.
Gunawan confessed to stealing and then reselling at least three phones at an electronics market in Denpasar, according to police.
