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): The Royal Gendarmerie arrested two men and confiscated a gun from them, after they snatched a bag from a woman at a porridge shop at 4 am, on November 2, 2020, on street 163, Phnom Penh.
Image
The victim, who is named Ly Na, 35 years old, said she was eating porridge when suddenly, two suspects pulled up on a motorbike, plate PP1HX-3685, and snatched her bag and her phone. She screamed for help and tried to pull her phone back.
The suspect tried to get on the motorbike, but he was caught by the local people. The trapped thief then yelled at his driver to take out the gun and help him escape, but one of the local help-team picked up a chair from the shop and threw it directly at the motorbike driver, knocking him over. The crowd then attacked both the men, and took them into custody before handing them over to the authorities, who arrived soon afterwards.
The police confiscated a motorbike, a gun with 3 bullets, two phones, a charger, and some money.

Lieutenant Sok Oudom said after some questioning, the suspects confessed that the gun belonged to them and that they committed the crime. The victim and a witness filed a complaint at Beung Kengkong Royal Gendarmerie.

^^^ Somehow, the shirt is perfect.
- juxtaposing everything else that just screams out the new, very different, circumstances of this lad's life.
(as a arty-fart would say)

It will be a while before he wears a such a hope-filled shirt again. Maybe never
