Karaoke hall robbed in Sanur

DENPASAR, Bali: Regulars of the Barcelona Bar and Karaoke Hall may be singing the blues this weekend after burglars made off with some Rp 50 million worth of sound system and video compact disc equipment on Friday.

"We believe it was the work of more than one person, and that they used a car or a van as their mode of transportation," Sanur Police chief Adj. Comr. Made Setiawan said here on Friday.

The bar and karaoke hall, located in Sanur, was closed for renovation at the time of the theft. The establishment does not employ security guards.

Police believe the burglary probably took place at about 3 a.m., with the thieves breaking in through the front door. (zen)
