I miss the days when these scumbags would get a good working over, I mean ran into the door jamb repeatedly, before being presented to the press.

Re: 18yo British Woman Gets Bag Snatched in Battambang
This is the second aggression reported on a young British woman in Battambang this week. Are there more reports on social media which find their way to the forum, or are there more little runts on motorbikes targeting foreigners, and women in particular ?
Not so long ago, if anyone asked me about crime and violence in Cambodia, I would have said that, outside of PP and Shv, violent crime on foreigners and bag snatchings are rare. At the same time, there has been a general increase in the number of drug arrests, and there seems to be meth in every corner of Cambodia these days, so could that be related ?

Bag snatchings were certainly common in Temple Town 10 years ago.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 7:56 pm I would have said that, outside of PP and Shv, violent crime on foreigners and bag snatchings are rare.

One of the suspects takes the cops to where he dropped the bag.
Counting out the grand haul of $8.25. (Riel and dollars).

It's scary to watch these guys start to use and then go downhill real quick.
The lack of education leads to a situation where they have no idea at all about what it is they are doing to themselves.
The kids out here use all the time and it's only a matter of time before some real bad shit will go down.
