Staff continue to inspect all the guests’ luggage and find a stolen towel, baskets and toiletries hidden in a backpack.

‘You explain now,’ the angry hotel employee can be heard saying in the footage.

A man is heard repeatedly apologising but the staff are clearly furious.

‘Stop. This is not about the money. I know you have a lot of money. This is no respect. You come to Bali, you just steal – no respect,’ an employee replied as the man continued to apologise.

Sukawati Police later used their Facebook page to share photos of the stolen items, which included a hairdryer, soap dispensers and coat hangers.

‘The guest acknowledged his mistake and apologised, returned the items taken and compensated for items that have not been found,’ a police statement said.

No charges were laid.

Other Indian tourists have taken to social media to express their embarrassment over the incident

‘This family was caught stealing hotel accessories. Such an embarrassment for India. Each of us carrying an Indian passport must remember that we are ambassadors of the nation and behave accordingly. India must start cancelling passports of people who erode our credibility,’ the man who originally shared the footage said.
