Japanese Engineer, YUICHI HATAMURA, Busted at Golden Sorya Mall, Phnom Penh

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.

I think maybe he's half Thai and can't help it.

I'm wondering what he did to come to the attention of the cops.

There's consistently about a bakers dozen, skeevy looking westerners on the GSM premises at any given time.

A cop could literally walk up to any one of them at random and ask them to empty their pockets and they'd have a case 9 times out of 10.

This is the closest we are likely to get to the truth. Or he didn't share his stash with one of the many tweakers, and they grassed him up??

Since when are the police frisking people for acting suspicious?

Isn't it more likely he tried to enter Pontoon or Heart of Darkness and the security checked his pockets?
