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.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): Yesterday morning, on May 3, 2020, at 8 am, two prisoners, who were being transported to Prey Sar prison, broke out of a police vehicle and tried to run away at Stueng Meanchey high way, Sangkat Stueng Meanchey, Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh.

The suspects were identified Phan Veth, a 21-year-old man, and Kan Phanna, a 31-year-old man, arrested for violence and drug trafficking. The two suspects were being taken to Prey Sar prison after sentencing, but on the way, they broke the door of the police car and tried to escape along the canal. Police arrested one of them immediately at the scene, and the other suspect was detained near Soriya Mall, in Khan Daun Penh.

After their capture and arrest, the suspects were sent to Prey Sar Prison straight away.

Violence and drug dealing (probably meth)

But it is hard not to have a sneaking feeling of respect for any one who makes the big breakout attempt.
I don't expect the majority to agree, i can't even justify it to myself, but..
If i saw them running down my street i would probably not question them about the nature of the offence - just quickly usher them in, give them a change of clothes and $20 bucks and let them quietly out the back gate.

Yeah yeah, i know...

Being on the jog around the riverside does not really qualify you as a desperado on the run.
Sorry Faz.
