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.

Cambodia News (Kandal): On February 8, 2020, at 1:30 pm, a Cambodian American man, Pem Sovanthoeun, a 38-year-old English teacher, was arrested after he was recorded on CCTV camera while stealing an iPhone 7Plus at an Amazon cafe, in Sangkat Takmao, Kandal. The victim was identified as Kun Sathya, a 16-year-old boy student.

Before the incident, the victim of the theft went to drink coffee at Amazon cafe, but when he went to use the toilet, he left his phone in the bag at the table. The suspect, who was sitting close to the victim's table, stole the phone and left the cafe. The victim realized that his phone was stolen, so he asked the cafe staff to check the security camera. After that, he filed a complaint at the police station.

The police searched for the suspect and found him at another coffee shop near Sovannaphum school. The police found the victim's phone in his pocket, so the suspect was arrested and sent to Takmao police station for questioning, where he broke down and confessed to the crime.
