DENPASAR ~ A cleaning-service employee was arrested after being caught stealing clothing from the Billabong shop in Kuta Square where he worked, police said.

Kuta’s Police’s crimes chief, Made Karsa, said Billabong management claimed Gede Suarnata, 23, had stolen 375 pieces of clothing, but he was found to have only five.

“Suarnata was caught red-handed by shop security and is being interrogated. He has admitted to stealing five pieces of clothing,” Karsa said.

However, management was still claiming to have lost 375 pieces of clothing from the storage area of the shop.
