DENPASAR - The Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) of Bali Province plans to expel foreign nationals (WNA) from England who make trouble after the foreigner undergoes a crime.

"After all the elements of the crime are fulfilled and the punishment is served, then we will conduct deportation," said Head of the Bali Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office Pramella Yunidar Pasaribu, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 12.

Currently, the British foreigner named Damon Anthony Alexander Hills is still being investigated further at the North Kuta Police, Badung Regency, Bali Province.

According to him, the 50-year-old British foreigner's action is a serious concern for all parties and shows the importance of maintaining security, especially against foreigners who violate the law.

Pramella invites the active role of the community to participate in maintaining security and reporting all suspicious activities to the authorities.

"The role and the community is very important in maintaining environmental security. If there are suspicious things, immediately report them to the authorities," he added.

Previously, the British foreigner took a reckless action by taking a truck away and crashing into a toll gate as well as a number of motorists in Kerobokan, North Kuta, Badung, Bali on Sunday night.

The dramatic action was recorded in the video and went viral on social media.

After controlling the truck, Hills drove through the Kerobokan area, then continued his journey towards the Ngurah Rai By Pass Road to the Benoa Toll Gate.

At high speed, the foreigner crashed into the toll portal, causing a chase by the Bali Mandara Toll service officer to I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport.

At the airport entrance, Hills hit the portal again and several other facilities before running to the international departure terminal.

He was finally arrested by airport security officers along with the police.
