Sorry it's in Indonesian but the upshot is a career criminal pretended to be a motorcycle taxi driver then robbed and sexually assaulted a British tourist.

The cops got him and, unfortunate as it is, he was shot in both legs whilst resisting arrest.

As for the confessed criminal, he's facing what could be serious prison time, but that doesn't really help the tourist involved.

The best bet is to stick to the Go-jeg, Grab, and Bluebird apps - They are pretty safe because the company knows who you are, who the driver is, and exactly where you are.

Incidents like this sometimes make the hearts of drivers who are really looking for money sad. Because sometimes being a driver is not only their main income, but many people are looking for additional income by becoming a driver. It's not easy to compete on the highway. In addition to the challenges of facing various human natures, they also have to face the weather. Floods, heavy rains, scorching heat. The audacity of criminals tarnishes the hard work of a good driver.
