A bizarre story is emerging from the midst of the COVID-19 situation in Cambodia.
According to police sources, around 12 wannabe kidnappers disguised themselves as doctors and kidnapped a number of victims in Chamkarmon district under the pretext of “taking COVID samples”.
The suspects then attempted to ransom their victims for $30,000. However, Police soon caught up with them and arrested members of the gang on at 4 pm on March 25, 2021 at the Positano Boutique Hotel, Street 144, Village 6, Sangkat Phsar Kandal I, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh.
Police were then able to free 2 of the gang’s victims from their confinement.
Sources say that the suspects include Cambodian and Vietnamese nationals – both male and female. The suspects have been taken to Chamkarmon District Police Inspectorate for questioning.
Khmer Times has asked the authorities for more details and will add to this story as more information is received.
