Chinese Man Arrested for Robbing a Taxi Driver at Gunpoint in Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville: On June 22 2018, the police received a complaint from a 31-year-old Cambodian Taxi driver, Kong Ti, who got robbed at gunpoint by a Chinese man at 10:40 pm in Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville.
The victim said the suspect contacted him by WeChat to get a visa extension for his passport, and they agreed to meet up. However, when they arrived at the rendez-vous, the Chinese man held up the taxi driver at gunpoint to steal his driving license, Cambodian ID, and car identification documents.
[It is not specified in the text if the car, a Rolls Royce, was also stolen, but this appears to be the case.]
After receiving the complaint, the Chief of Police General Chun Nareth, coordinated by Mr. Kean Sothearoth, prosecutor of the Sihanoukville Provincial Court, ordered the police to search for the suspect. That same evening, at 11 pm, the police found and arrested a Chinese national, Ly Ker Xing, 24 years old, at CASA club.
During the arrest, the police confiscated evidence of the crime, including US $ 500, a pistol with 3 bullets, and a Rolls Royce with number plate no. 2BP-6666. The suspect was taken to the police station to follow legal proceedings, while Sihanoukville police have been directed to continue searching for 3 other accomplices.

A Chinese armed robber driving a Rolls Royce, I'm not sure it gets any better than this.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Sounds like one way of settling a gambling debt.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It depends if you are a rich Chinese I think. Most of the Chinese financial crimes, kidnapping and extortion etc, are directed against Chinese nationals.Cougar.hunter wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:12 pm Does anyone know if the crime rate in Sihanoukville is higher than Phnom Penh?

25 June 2018
https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50504373/c ... -gunpoint/[Police officer] Mr Phally said that on Friday evening at about 6pm, a group of four Chinese men in a Rolls Royce chatted by Wechat Messenger with taxi driver Kong Tipor, 31, and asked him to take them to have their visas renewed in Bei commune.
“But when the taxi driver met them as agreed, one of them pointed a gun and threatened to kill him if he shouted for help,” he said. “While the suspect was pointing the gun at the victim, the other three Chinese men robbed the victim of his money and other things from his car. After stealing the victim’s properties, they drove away in the luxury car.”
He added that one of the four suspects was later arrested by provincial police on the same night at a Chinese-owned night club. After his arrest, police seized a pistol, three bullets, $500 and the Rolls Royce, which was stolen.

Was it here or on Facebook that someone said the taxi driver, having had a job as a gofer, had decided to retain $500 of money given him to get visas etc instead of providing the service. So he was tricked back by an anonymous Wechat to return, where his former customers manifested their displeasure with his business model.
