Italian Tourist's Ipad Snatched at Bat Cave in Battambang

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Foreigner had her Ipad snatched by children at Sampov Mountain, Battambang province.

Battaambong: An Italian woman filed a complaint at the police station after she just had her ipad snatched by children around 5:45 pm at the bat cave at Sampov mountain, located at Phnom Sampov Kang Kert village, Phnom Sampov commune, Banon district, Battambang province while she was filming millions of bats flying from the cave.

According to Kampuchea Thmey Daily News, The victim is a 52 years old Italian woman. She said, before the incident happened she was standing in front of bat cave watching bats flying from the cave and then she took her ipad from her bag to film it and all of a sudden, there was a boy about 10 years old snatched the ipad from her and run via a small path into the forest.

She didn’t know what to do, so she went to file a complaint at the police station hoping that they could bring back her Ipad and recently police are searching for the boy.

There was a lot of snatching going on lately toward foreign tourists. Currently there are some tourism police are deployed to patrol at downhill.

I was just there in August.

Would be an easy place to steal as many phones as you can carry. Tourists are lined up all over, including on both sides of the road, so you could just drive down the road, snatching phones left and right.

I'll have to upload my video footage from the place. Well worth the visit.

Some ignorant person and a total non understanding of Cambodia wrote a most informative and rather amusing report on the place a few years ago.
