Is a Mysterious Woman in Purple Pyjamas Drugging Phnom Penh Tuktuk Drivers ?

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.

And here I was thinking it was another case of devil's breath in Cambodia.

Maybe there's a trail of passed-out tuk tuks from Kampot to Phnom Penh ?

Baffles me each time I see the brilliance of the general public. If you see someone vomiting and passed out, turn them to the side to clear the airways. Instead of letting them hangout like they are on a beach in paradise.

UPDATE: Tuktuk Driver Robber Arrested
Image
Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: A woman has been arrested on accusations that she drugged and robbed a tuktuk driver on May 24, 2020 at 3:30 pm at Street 436, Group 21, Village 6, Boeung Trabek Commune, Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh.
Image
The suspect is Ouch Chantha, 32, who lives in a rented house on Street 97, Sangkat Phsar Doeum Thkov, Khan Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh.
She called the tuktuk for a ride to Boeung Trabek market, and on the way, she stopped to buy some juice and gave some to the driver. The tuktuk driver then began to fall asleep at the roadside and stopped the vehicle. The woman then helped herself to the purse and a wallet belonging to the sleeping victim. However, as the woman walked off with the loot, the driver woke up and shouted for help. Police detained the woman and found that she was carrying a number of sleeping pills, which confirmed the theory that she had set out to drug and rob the driver.
Image
After detaining the woman, police sent her to the Chamkar Morn Police Inspectorate with the evidence to make a legal proceeding.

What is not clear, is whether it is the same woman who personally committed the recent spate of robberies against tuktuk drivers in Phnom Penh, or whether there is a gang of women who are targeting the tuktuks, using the same modus operandi. This was the third such event reported this week, and perhaps there were other cases that were not reported.

Are tuktuk drivers safe once more, now that police have nabbed this woman dressed in red with alarming eyebrows, or are there more women out there waiting to prey on the hapless tuktuk drivers of Phnom Penh ?
