Burglar Made Getaway with Wheelbarrow

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, (Pursat): Police of Andong Snay Administration arrested a suspect on Friday, May 28, 2021 at 2:30 pm for stealing other people's property on May 21, 2021, when he broke into a house in Char Thmei village, Andong Snay commune, Rolea Bier district, Pursat province on May 21, 2021.

Police say the suspect, Kob Mat, a 33-year-old man from Char Thmei village, Andong Snay commune, Lea Bier district, broke into the home of El Nos, a 50-year-old man on May 21, 2021. He stole items including ax heads, machetes, a hoe, a shovel, a rake, a car tire, which he threw into a wheelbarrow, and then made a clean getaway.

However, police tracked down the suspect, who was arrested and detained for burglary one week later. The suspect is currently being held in detention by the specialized police forces to build a case, including the exhibits which were sent to the provincial police commission.

That's a sad haul.

Has anybody ever seen a real one-wheel, timber framed, blow-up tyres, wheelbarrow in Cambodia
- or a mattock?
I never found any despite turning Phnom Penh upside down.

As for mattocks, maybe I have the name wrong but these are one of the most common tools here. Back home we use separate spades, shovels and pickaxes but these are multi purpose:
