The victim, Lang Cheng Leang, aged 57, was startled, but held on to her bag and cried out for help, causing the thief-man to fall off his motorbike and run away. But he didn't get very far, because witnesses to the attempted robbery gave chase and captured the suspect for the police. Siem Reap police have detained the thief and his motorbike for further inspection.
