Evidence seized included motorcycles, ignition keys, tools,\nand the suspects\u2019 clothing worn during the thefts. At the same event,\nCriminal Investigation Unit Chief Inspector Agus Riwayanto Diputra\nstated that one suspect, Edi Siswanto, 42, was a repeat offender. The\nman from Jember, East Java, was arrested for stealing a motorcycle\nparked outside Antik Shop at Jalan Gunung Atena No.\u00a054, Padangsambian\nKelod Village, West Denpasar. The suspect, a professional driver, easily\ncarried out the theft as the vehicle owner had left the key in the\nignition. \u2018This individual was previously arrested by Denpasar City\nPolice, and has now been apprehended by West Denpasar District Police\u2019s\nCriminal Investigation Unit for the same crime of motorcycle theft,\u2019\nsaid the Criminal Investigation Unit Chief. (H-3) Denpasar\u2019s Food and\nDrug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) uncovered a dangerous drug distribution\nscheme in Bali, where the prescription drug Trihexyphenidyl was\ndisguised as livestock vitamin B Complex packaging. BPOM identified 15\ncases with illegal drug distribution primarily via courier services\nacross Bali since 2023. Bank Indonesia\u2019s survey recorded a 5.85%\ncontraction in hotel room prices in Q1 2026 due to geopolitical tensions\nand declining tourist demand. Chef Benjamin will lead the development of\nnew menus at Sundara restaurant and implement sustainable gastronomy\nprogrammes within the resort. Empathy School Bali has clarified legal\nconcerns, confirming its status as a licensed non-formal education\ncentre. Patrols have also been intensified to prevent night-time crimes\nsuch as motorcycle theft, burglaries, and other street crimes, in\naddition to targeting illegal street racing. Household waste, typically\ndiscarded at landfills, has been repurposed by women in Ubung Kaja\nVillage, Denpasar City, creating new value. Although PSEL can process\nmixed waste, the quality and impact of processing are heavily influenced\nby the condition of waste entering the system. Information on the\nincident was received at 12.10 Wita from a resident named Kojek to\nDenpasar City Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) officers. The victim was\nidentified as I Made Wirya, 65.
