Locals Smackdown Thieves Bag-Snatching from Westerners on St 172, Phnom Penh

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.

I don't remember either of those stories. The Dutch lady was stabbed.

The robbery/shootings I recall include a UN worker shot in 2011 in bkk1 on her doorstop, a guy was shot in the leg down a backstreet of bassac in 2013, a Japanese guy was shot the same weekend, a Dutch woman was shot on meth alley (178) in 2014(?), and some kid shot in the arse by an okhna's bodyguards on Norodom. I'm sure there's been many others.
