A man on trial for allegedly stealing large sums of cash from an ATM on the Indonesian resort island of Bali fled from court on Tuesday by climbing through a toilet window, police have said. But after arriving at court, the 38-year-old asked security officers for a toilet break before proceedings got under way, police official Gede Sumana said. After climbing through the window, police suspect he made his getaway from the court in the Balinese capital Denpasar by hailing a taxi. They are also suspected of stealing money from ATMs on Indonesia’s Java island, which lies west of Bali. Bali, a pocket of Hinduism in Muslim-majority Indonesia, is a popular tourist destination known for its tropical climate and palm-fringed beaches.
