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.

Cambodia News, Prey Veng: A man with a history of jail time was caught red-handed stealing a handbag from Vann Vantha, a 52-year-old Cambodian woman, who was sleeping on the porch of her home in Chbar Ampov district, after lunch, on 2 May 2020.

The suspect, identified as Sok Phearun, a 40-year-old Cambodian national, crept up on the sleeping woman who had posed the bag on her stomach for safe keeping while she slept. However, when the thief grabbed the bag, the woman woke up and began to scream loudly.

The suspect ran off, but at 4:30 that afternoon the authorities arrested the suspect in Boeung Chhouk village, Niroth commune, and confiscated the bag, which contained US$200, and returned it to the owner. The thief, who is known to local police, was sent to the Chbar Ampov Police Inspectorate for questioning, where he has been charged with theft, and also tested positive for drugs.
