Police said the two men had failed to return a rented motorbike to a farmer, 45, who called police after finding them sitting on a bridge.

One man, 20, escaped, while the other, 22, was arrested, claiming the two hadn’t dared to act on their scheme.

Police sent the man to court and are searching for the runaway. NOKORWAT
