Cleaner Steals Australian Expat's Phone

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.

It is reported that the suspect went to the victim's house for cleaning. The victim went to the bed room and left the phone on the table. After cleaning, the victim realized that he had lost his phone. When he went to check the suspect's bag, he found his phone, so then he took the suspect to the police station. The suspect has been detained for questioning and criminal charges at Khan Doun Penh police station.

I could be wrong but she looks like one of the staff who used to work (maybe still does) at La Croisette
I have never been to La Croisette but I do remember her from waiting on me at some restaurant somewhere. Maybe the place offers carry out food and maid service.

Yes he has known her for a couple of months and would go to the bar where she works as bar tender to pick her up frequently. According to the girls she is not without means and works the bar for some extra money. She would not throw all that away for a shitty Motorola phone.

They say he is an arrogant prick so not surprised he has done this .

But she now has her photo on the internet as a thief and everyone of her family will see it. The damage that the "news" does without proof is mind blowing. =@

Sure, who the fuck goes to the cops here for something like that? I'm finding it hard to believe that anyone would steal a shitty old phone like that anyway, I have a feeling he set her up. :hattip:
