Brutal Bag Snatching in Toul Kork (VIDEO)

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.

Here's hoping that she's OK (well, as OK as you can be after you had your stuff taken from you).

It just goes to show, that you mustn't ever let your guard down. Sure, there wasn't much that she could have done.
Being a Khmer woman, she probably weighs around 45kg. There's no way she could have resisted the force of these
two assholes. But yeah. A healthy dose of paranoia keeps you from getting into situations where you can easily be
attacked like this girl.

Don't carry a bag/purse/camera slung over your shoulder on the street side. Carry it on the inside shoulder. And never wear a bag on your back on a moto.

I saw one happen on Sihanouk blvd the other night. 2 freshie boys and a girl 3 up on a scoopie all hit the Tarmac as the thieves made a getaway with a bag. One of the freshie boys jumped up, adjusted his hair, and then gave the thieves the "Cambodian death point" (you know it) as they sped away.
