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.

On July 20, 2020, at 10:00 AM, the victim and family locked the front and back of the house and left the house unattended while they went away. On the night of 21/07/2020, the family returned home just after midnight, but when they unlocked the front door, they found the furniture in the house was scattered and the TV and the safe were gone. The victims looked all over the house and made a list of missing items and called the police.
The Takhmao City Police Inspector ordered the Takhmao forces to go to inspect the crime scene in search for clues left by suspects, and to take a statement from the victims, in accordance with the procedure.
Image
Please note that: The victim's house is a hybrid villa, size 4.1 x 12 meters, 2 floors.The upper floor has 2 rooms, the lower floor has a bathroom at the back of the house, 5 meters of land, 2 meters high fence outside. The fence at the north side of the house at the back is adjacent to about 10 hectares of open field and forest land, easy for the suspects to enter without being seen from outside.
In the Borey, there are proper security guards, but they patrol only in front of the house, not behind the house. There are no security cameras around the victim's house.

Cambodians watch when others go away. Then they break in and steal while they are away.

FTFY. This is what burglars do. Not just "Cambodian" burglars, but thieves everywhere. This is not specifically a Cambodian thing. It's a thief-thing.
