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.

Sihanoukville, Cambodia News: At 12pm on 24 December 2018, a man was detained after stealing from Chom Pey guesthouse in village 2, sangkat 2, Sihanoukville.

It seems that he had been staying at the guesthouse, disguised as a policeman, in order to steal from the rooms.

After reports of theft, the guesthouse owner checked the CCTV and called the real police, but in the meantime, the criminal tried to escape across the rooftop which also led to the ABA (bank) rooftop, sparking fears that he was also a bank robber.

However, the authorities were on the job, and they tracked down the bogus policeman who was hiding in a water tank.

That's a great vid of the perp coming out of the water tank and apologizing.

Apologizing or begging not to be beaten?

He's terrified and knows that if he isn't extremely polite and apologetic he's going to get hurt.
