Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On December 28, 2022, by the Yu Eng traffic stop on Russian Federation Blvd., near the Phnom Penh International Airport (PIA) in Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh, an 18-year-old man, Sor Sambath, was captured after snatching a purse from a Chinese woman.

According to the police, the suspect drove his motorbike from his room in Khan Por Senchey out to the Phnom Penh International Airport, and he was looking for a likely victim when he spotted the Chinese woman standing on the roadside with her purse.

The thief drove up to the woman and snatched the purse from her hands, but he was unable to make a clean getaway, because he was chased down by a crowd of local good samaritans, who stopped his motorbike and captured him. He was then taken to the nearest police station for further proceedings.
