Group of 7 Tourists from France Robbed in Phnom Penh; French Lady Receives Head Injury

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh: On February 11, at 11:15 pm 7 French tourists were robbed by 2 Cambodian men at Sodach Chun Nat Statue in Khan Doun Penh, Phnom Penh. A French woman received head injuries.

According to police, the French tourists (4 men and 3 women) were trying to get a tuktuk when the robbery occurred. Two suspects were riding a motorbike (Honda Dream 2016) from south to north on Sisovath Boulevard and attempted to grab the bag of one of the French women in the group, causing her to fall down and injure her head and left leg.

The 2 suspects sped off on their motorbike to get away, but a car helped to catch the suspects by crashing into them from the back, causing them to crash, and nearby police immediately arrested the suspects, one named Ly Chai, 16 years old from Prey Veng and the other suspect escaped, identified as Ar Pheak, 17 year olds, a motodop from Takmao.

The suspect who was arrested confessed that he had robbed tourists twice before. The first time he robbed a phone from someone at Toul Tompoung Market.

After the incident the victim filed a complaint with the police to prepare a legal case against the thieves.

Video footage of the robbery and also footage of the car that chased down the thieves and knocked them off their bikes:

Watching video clutter from foreigners on the riverside in Daun Penh, people were driving cars crashing thieves to fall down motorbikes and caught one (Video inside)
(Phnom Penh): At 11 pm on February 11, 18, two suspects were shot dead by a French woman who was walking down the junction of Chuon Neang, Chaktomuk commune, Daun Penh district, causing the victim to drag her suitcase.

Unfortunately, when the suspects acted, there were people who were riding a car after seeing the car crash in the back of the vehicle, causing a collision of motorbikes.

Sok Sopheak, deputy police chief of Chaktomuk district, said on February 12, 2018 that a car crashing into a thief was branded Highlander and after colliding with police and people gathered a group of suspects who were the same person, while the suspects who were driving motorbikes were missing.

The police chief said that the suspect was an old person and used drugs, which is now being sent to the Daun Penh Inspectorate to proceed with the law.

However, after the arrest, the suspects were forced to seize a motorbike carrying the victim's activities and handbags and was immediately handed over to the victim.
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

It's a shame that more effort goes into stopping people from dirty dancing than goes into stopping shit like this from happening to tourists (or to anyone for that matter).

At the neighbors, for decades in the past, they cut off hand for robbers. It seems it was efficient.

Sadly I doubt the victims will hang around for the trial and justice will possibly not be done without witnesses or victims

True. Maybe the video footage will help with that.
