Man Hocks his Friend's Moto and Gambles Away the Proceeds

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.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia Breaking News: 21-year-old Chum Socheat, was arrested at 13:30 pm on August 27, 2019 at the Phnom Penh Municipal Police Department, after he borrowed and failed to return a black 125 Honda motorcycle 2018, Title 1HE-8168, from his coworker, Phorn Sophat, male, 23, on August 24, 2019 at 12:20 pm.

Socheat told the victim that he needed to borrow his motorbike to go to put some money in the bank, but instead, he gave the bike as collateral for a $800 loan, and used the money to play fishing games on Koh Pich. The accused man lost all the motorbike money gambling, then fled to a friend's house to hide and turned off his phone. Police caught up with him on August 27, and he will appear in court on a charge of breach of trust.

Stupidity is easy when spending your friends hard earned money.
What a moron.
That is why Khmer people are not allowed to gamble.
Gambling is a mugs game in my opinion.

Is it due to gambling or just drugs and booze? I thought the folly related to another nationality group :whip: :beer3:

Can you repost that again. I'd like to give you two karma points.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
