Finnish Backpacker/Expat Hannah Sirkiä Arrested AGAIN in Cambodia! This Time in Kampot For Property Damage

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.

She has been accused of damaging an ABA Bank ATM.

Could she have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time twice in less than 5 months? Seems more likely that she's on a downward spiral.

In a seemingly unrelated story, another foreigner identified as James Benjamin, was arrested in Kampot for damaging property at One Night Guesthouse while under the influence of alcohol.

Anymore news on the outcome of this story?

On Facebook it seems she's left Cambodia, but not certain. I hope she has. Total waste of space.

The poor dear was probably trying to raise funds to attend a Halloween party in Sihanoukville.

I bet the glory hole was happy she didn't turn up. Although she would have won the best Halloween dress.

A 2$ buzz cut and a little more eyebrow pencil and it’d be difficult to tell them apart.
