They hang out in the periphery of the baby milk scammers and have been up to their nefarious ways for years, with the tacit approval of the coppers.

So instead of prosecuting for multiple years of child abuse its easier for Siem Reap police to get them for theft of a phone!

I am pretty sure the cops made a lot of good money over the years, allowing the milk powder scam. I never saw the scammers get harassed. If there was too much heat from the top, they'd disappear for a couple of weeks and then be back as if nothing had happened.
