Kandal, Cambodia News: On January 23, 2019, at 10:10 am, three scammers on the make, 2 Chinese men and 1 Cambodian, were arrested for attempting to scam a 29-year-old jewellery seller, Hak Limheang, in Korki village,Kandal. The suspects were identified as Chin Meyfin, a 50-year-old Chinese man, Chen Chouchea, a 35-year-old Chinese man, and Men Wansithet, a 37-year-old Cambodian man.
During the arrest, Kandal police seized US$5,040, 40,000,000 riel, and a Highlander car from the suspects, who were detained by police for case preparation following the legal procedure.
Whatever the scammers were scamming, it would not have been worth the value of the car. 1-0 to the police, and they will surely enjoy their new Highlander.

Lots of detailed planning went into that robbery but none into the getaway.
