Group of Thieves Finally Arrested After Robbing Australian of Her MacBook in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Four thieves who were known to target foreigners in Phnom Penh were arrested and charged with aggravated theft, weapons possession and drug use yesterday.
Prosecutors at Phnom Penh Municipal Court said the thieves stole two mobile phones from an Austrian man and a laptop from an Australian woman over the weekend in their latest attacks.
Ny Savuth, a police officer in Daun Penh district, said the group had stolen many other items in the past.
“They would drive around on motorbikes, snatching phones, bags, money or jewellery from other people on motorbikes, especially foreign tourists,” he said.
“They were arrested after tourists filed police complaints.”
After the arrests, police seized the two stolen mobile phones and the laptop and returned them to their owners.
Police also confiscated a motorbike, two knives, two axes, a small package of crystal methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
The suspects were identified as Suon Vith, 22, Van Ny, 25, Chea Eng, 27, and Van Chan, 35.
[ADMIN EDIT: THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT THE PLANTATION URBAN RESORT AND SPA, ALTHOUGH THE WOMAN WHO WAS ROBBED WAS STAYING THERE. ACCORDING TO THE PLANTATION, THEIR GUEST WAS ROBBED NEAR THE NAGA CLINIC. AS FAR AS WE KNOW, BASED ON THE PLANTATION'S REPUTATION, IT IS A VERY SAFE HOTEL WITH GOOD SECURUTY, AND THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN REPORTS OF ANY ROBBERIES ON THEIR PREMISES. WE HAVE UPDATED THE TITLE OF THIS TOPIC TO REFLECT THE MOST ACCURATE REPORTS.]

So is she Austrian or Australian? I know, we all look alike to you...
Edit: My bad, I see now it was an Austrian AND an Australian. Sounds like the start of a TEFL joke.

From the Khmer news, it sounds like they were just doing a bunch of bag snatching in the streets in popular areas with tourists.Cam Nivag wrote:Did they break into a room at the Plantation?

Why does the headline say Plantation? Maybe it happened in front of the hotel?

I spoke to the GM of Plantation. The lady was a guest at the hotel but the laptop was stolen outside, somewhere near Naga Clinic.
