However, the attempted theft was unsuccessful as the thief could not get out of the parking lot. A security guard caught him when he tried to break the iron chain protecting the parking spot.

Currently, the Russian citizen is being held in custody. According to the police officers, the suspect behaves aggressively, disrupting his cellmates.

The chief of the Gianyar police department, Made Bayu Sutha Sartana, stated that a psychological examination has been conducted, which confirmed Razin's sanity. So far, the prosecutor's office has not pressed any charges against the Russian citizen. Under Indonesian law, he could face up to 12 years in prison for theft, but there is a high chance Razin will be deported.
