Phnom Penh: On May 30 at 2:45 am, a 26 year old German tourist, DAVID FRANKE JAN and his girlfriend got their bag snatched on Street 172, in front of CEF hotel, Sangkat Chey Chumneas, Phnom Penh.

The victim said that he and and his girlfriend were walking along the street to riverside when two thieves rode up on their motorbike plate no. 1V-2082 and tried to snatch the victim's bag. So then the victim tried to pull his bag back, but the thieves pulled back again, and when they seized the bag, they ran away, leaving their motorbike at the scene.
