Barang and Wife Robbed by Kampot MethHeads

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Barang and Wife Robbed by Kampot MethHeads

Post by prahocalypse now »

Timothy John Gilpin from the UK and his wife Olivia Kaiser got robbed by 5 bag-snatching metheads in Kampot.

Unfortunately for the methheads, the cops caught up with them.

It's the first time I recall a bald-headed barang being the victim of a crime and not the perp.

Never underestimate a pipsqueak, probably were armed

You could be a hero and get your wife or kid killed, or just let them take replaceable stuff

How many sets of handcuffs do you expects a law enforcement officer to carry? Cable ties are much cheaper.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Cable ties are easy to break.

You don't even have to try to break out of them, they'll sometime break on their own.

Ok, you should tell all the police forces around the world to stop using them then.

Not my problem.
Simply raise both arms straight above your head and bring them down fast with a push outwards at the bottom....
Works every time.
