Police in Taoyuan arrested a missing Indonesian migrant worker after a late-night drinking disturbance at a hotel, a small case that highlights Taiwan's ongoing problem with workers who slip out of their legal jobs.

• A hotel called police just after midnight about foreign guests drinking loudly and disturbing other guests.
• The room was booked for two people, but several friends showed up to drink.
• A 23-year-old Indonesian man ran barefoot out of the room when officers arrived and was caught after a short chase.
• Checks showed he had already been reported as a missing migrant worker, and he was handed over to immigration authorities.

Outlook: Police are pressing hotels to report suspicious activity right away, so expect more of these workers to be picked up through routine disturbance calls.
