Try and flee from Bali Police when they want to arrest you and you just might take some hot lead to the leg, like one car burglar did on Sunday.
Police officers from Denpasar pursued a wanted auto-break-in specialist, Salman (aka Ome aka Lepla Raha), 34, all the way to Surabaya, East Java, according to Suara.com.
When police attempted to arrest Salman, he tried to escape, so police shot him in the leg, Denpasar Deputy Police Chief Nyoman Artana told Suara.com on Tuesday.
Salman, originally from Banyuwangi, East Java, reportedly admitted to stealing stuff out of cars 22 times in Denpasar. His trademark was waiting for people to leave their cars parked and then he would break the windshield or windows to get in and just snatch everything inside.
He was identified as the culprit from CCTV footage of a crime scene on Jl. Gatot Subroto, Denpasar.
Depending on how things go in court, Salman could get a maximum of seven years in prison, according to Suara.net.
