Phnom Penh Phone Snatchings

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.

Another phone snatching, in the same area of Phnom Penh a day later, has resulted in a woman's death.

Witnesses said that the two attackers were aged about 20-22-years-old and were driving a black 125 Honda Dream, but they did not get the plate number.

The victim fell from her motorcycle and was badly injured. An ambulance was called to take the woman to Calmette Hospital, but unfortunately she died from her injuries

The body was handed over to the family for a ceremony at Toul Sangke Pagoda in Khan Russey Keo.
Very sad. RIP.

I was walking along a quiet street in TTP the other day, and I was approached by a young man who offered me a phone. It looked like a new model, but I wasn't interested in buying either a stolen phone or maybe a Chinese copy. It may have been his property; I don't know.
