The GRK station at Mao Tse tung near 163 always a couple of those huge "Deuce and a Half" trucks and a few SUVs outside. They also have a load of Indian style tuk tuks, in the proper livery. I've never really seen them using these much, maybe they just don't suit the tough guy image?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

They are a branch of the army with wide ranging jurisdiction and powers to arrest army, police or civilians. Sometimes erroneously called "military police" but these are just a unit of the GRK.

Looking at the wiki: that thief had a bulls eye in attacking the wrong person...
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over
