Aussie accused of bizarre carjacking in Bali in which two pedestrians were allegedly run down before car was set alight
An Australian has been arrested for allegedly stealing a car, hitting two people, and lighting the vehicle on fire in Bali, Indonesia. The man, identified by local police only as RJW, allegedly confronted a local who was parking his Toyota Avanza outside a hotel in Seminyak about 12.30am on Sunday. The Australian is alleged to have aggressively knocked on the car window outside the hotel, called Eden the Residence at the Sea, and forced the victim from his car. He then allegedly jumped inside the vehicle and drove away. The local man chased after the car with the help of a security guard. After the car sped away it struck two people on a nearby road because it was being driven dangerously, police said. The Balinese local used phone tracking software to trace a bag inside the car to a road 8km east of the hotel. He went to the location but could not find his car and alerted local police. Denpasar Fire Brigade then informed police a car had caught fire near a building on the same street. Police alleged the Australian set fire to the vehicle intentionally, with the flames also catching the home alight. No one was killed or harmed in the fire, which was extinguished by fire crews by about 5.30am. Footage from the scene showed the Avanza engulfed in flames tucked against the side of a building as flames burned an overhead awning. Firefighters from two trucks turned their hoses on the SUV and the building beside it. The car was completely destroyed in the fire, with the interior burnt away and the windows outwardly shattered in the blaze. The home suffered minor damage. The Australian was arrested and taken to North Kuta Police Station. The Toyota Avanza is estimated to have been worth just over $14,000. Denpasar Police spokesperson Ketut Sukadi confirmed the investigation is ongoing.

Getty Images Luggage seen in a file photo A woman in New Zealand has been arrested after a two-year-old girl was found in her luggage while she was travelling on a bus. Police said officers were called to a bus stop in Kaiwaka, a small town in the north of the country, on Sunday after a passenger asked for access to the luggage compartment. "The driver became concerned when he noticed the bag moving. When the driver opened the suitcase, they discovered the two-year-old girl," New Zealand Police said a statement. The woman, 27, has been arrested and charged with ill-treatment/neglect of a child. "The little girl was reported to be very hot, but otherwise appeared physically unharmed," police said. She has been taken to hospital, where she is undergoing medical assessment, they added. The relationship between the woman and the child has not been disclosed. The woman is due to appear in the North Shore District Court on Monday. "We would like to acknowledge and commend the bus driver, who noticed something wasn't right and took immediate action, preventing what could have been a far worse outcome," police said.
