Kampot Ex-con Tries to Phone-snatch Expat

Kampot: On July 12 at 8 am, a 25-year-old construction worker, Sang Mathnut, was arrested after trying to snatch a phone from an unidentified expat on July 11 at 8:30 pm, in Sangkat Kandal, Kampot.

According to the police chief, Mr. Sao Samoeun, the suspect had recently got out of prison. He borrowed a motorbike from a friend of his, in order to go phone-snatching to make himself some money.
However, the ex-con picked the wrong target. When he tried to snatch the foreigner's phone, the victim resisted vigorously, causing the suspect to come off his bike. He then ran away on foot empty-handed, leaving his friend's motorbike at the scene of the attack. The thief was tracked down and arrested the next morning by police.
