A Russian national has been arrested by Kuta Police for allegedly stealing jewelry from a store in Kuta.
Tribun Bali reports that 29-year-old Artyr Pozdnykov was captured on CCTV footage, stealing a silver bracelet from the store Bambu Silver on Jl. Sahadewa Gang I.
The Russian apparently went into the store to look around and snatched the bracelet when staff weren’t looking, according to reports.
The store’s employee Lukita Ropiah, 32, says she realized just moments later that the bracelet was missing but the perp had already cut out.
Kuta Police quickly tracked down Pozdnykov with the help of witnesses around the scene and CCTV footage.
Insp. Ario Seno Wimoko of Kuta Police’s Criminal Investigation Division confirmed Pozdnykov’s arrest with local media.
Police are still working on bringing a translator from Jakarta for the case, according to Wimoko.
