Homeless Brit MARTIN CLEARY Arrested by Immigration Police in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

So, he would be Martin Cleary, who sold his Boeung Kak bar, the Drunken Frog in 2010.

There are no "low-top Chuck Taylors", they are Converse Jack Purcells.

The difference between Chuck Taylors and Jack Purcells is that Chuck does a high top as well, whereas Jack is strictly low top.

Well he has now. And by the looks of it, it may well give him a few more years on his life. If he makes it through detention and back home.
See crook!!!

Haha. I thought someone might recognize him if I put his pic up. Thanks all. And I don't mind you altering my post, CEO. ( They did ask, that was classy.)
I was wondering if I knew the guy because he looks familiar, but I don't think I do. Unless it was just in a bar sometime. (And all barangs look alike after a while, don't they ? %) )
Bon voyage Martin.

Not to make light of this poor bugger's situation, but I hear the legal counsel that was representing LORRAINE SMITH on an unrelated matter got her sent home.

Counsel was heard on the way to the courthouse to see Martin singing quietly to himself, "I can see CLEARLY now LORRAINE is gone..."
