Leopards Enter Hotel In Bandung, Dramatic Evacuation Lasts 2 Hours
The joint team evacuated a leopard found in the Anugerah Hotel on Jalan Padasaluyu, Sukasari District, Bandung City, West Java.
Sukasari Police Chief Kompol Ni Wayan Mirasni said his party received a report from the hotel at around 07.00 WIB and immediately went to the location.
"The tiger's position is on the second floor, in front of the hotel room," said Mirasni, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, October 6.
He explained that the joint team immediately carried out reformation efforts to paralyze the animal by preparing nets to narrow the space for leopards to move.
Mirasni said that at around 09.25 WIB, the movement of the tiger was successfully paralyzed.
Officers then evacuated the leopard into an iron cage and took it to the bottom floor of the hotel.

He said that until the evacuation process was complete, the hotel area had been sterilized to ensure the safety of guests and local residents.
