French Tourist JUSTINE LE CAM Gets Bag Snatched On Sihanouk Blvd in Phnom Penh; Police Catch 1 of 2 Bagsnatchers

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

CAMBODIA NEWS: A French tourist, Justine Le Cam, was walking along Sihanouk Blvd in Phnom Penh, when 2 Cambodian men on a motorbike drive right up to her and snatched her purse before speeding off with their new possessions.

Their excitement didn't last long when their motorbike overturned, sending the 2 thieves and their new booty flying across the road. One thief managed to get up quick enough to make a run for it on foot and disappeared into the shadows. The other thief was too slow, and by the time he tried to make a mad dash out of there, he was surrounded by an angry mob who wouldn't let him flee, and Cambodia's finest boys in blue: traffic police.

Justine Le Cam was fortunate enough to get her bag, along with contents, back and even got a photo with a police officer! The bag snatcher will be sent to court.

How many years in prison do these low-lifes generally get when caught ?

No, they just take it away to get evidence. As soon as they are finished with it you might get it back. However there's a good chance they won't be finished with it for quite some time. :hattip:

I think CEO needs a sticky thread with all of the mug shots of these fuckers, so we can learn their faces and prevent these events in the future, hopefully.

A couple of problems with that approach: a) there are thousands of them b) one stealing meth-head cunt looks just like the next one.

It's a start, and it creates a digital trail for future reference. Nothings perfect. :beer3:
