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.

The woman was walking along the street with her husband when a passing motorcyclist leaned over and snatched their bag. The suspect, Touch Chantha, 30, was immediately chased down by an angry mob at the corner of the new market along Road 53, 126 in Phsar Thmey 1 commune, Daun Penh district.

The bag was retrieved by police after the thief received a thorough beating from the crowd. He was taken to Psar Thmei 1 police post to be charged.
