Foreign Gang of Thieves Nabbed by Police, Including British JAMES WHITLOW and British Female JAMIE RHODES in Cambodia

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.

MI5 is domestic. I think you mean MI6 but two-bit crime isn’t there forte.
NCA might be interested but I doubt it.
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.

Which makes it even more surprising that they can perpetuate their shenanigans for as long as they can though!

I reckon they were only just a few steps ahead of the boys in brown. They are not master criminals and the police aren't master sleuths. Interest in them was not that high. Eventually they catch up and when they do they will pile on the charges, make a few up and then enjoy their 100% conviction rate.

Now we get to enjoy the Cambodian Justice system and all it's own shenanigans.

I am fairly confident that someone at the British Embassy keeps an eye on CEO. They seem to have bugger all else to do these days.
I’d suggest they purposely avoid CEO to keep their blank investigation calendar empty ....

general-chatter/james-whitlow-aka-whild ... 36-10.html

A kindergarten teacher to boot.

Do any HR people do basic background checks? Hell even googling a name would have pulled her dodgy acquaintances.

It was only a few weeks ago I was sat with one of our recruiters while he was waiting for an applicant to arrive for their interview and he was enthusing over their CV.
I logged off the game I was playing and within 3 minutes had found photos of the applicant in various states of inebriation from drink and weed. A few of her posts that people had shared on their less secure accounts were also pretty damning.

So yeah ...... the Internets a btch with a long memory and a loose tongue.
My guess would be that she was a teacher up until she went off the rails a few years ago and just used that as her occupation when arrested but was likely to not have worked for a long time as they apparently crossed the country scamming people and changing location regularly. By all accounts on both forums they have been running around scamming for over 2 years so unlikely to have been teaching and as JB has mentioned he saw her wandering around in PJ's.

A tragic change in the young lady, from fresh-faced pretty smiling one with eyes full of life in one picture to turn into resembling a small boy, that haircut is a crime in itself.

Sometimes life can take you down some dark corridors. I see that Jamie has a lot of family and friends on her fb page, do they know where she's at ?

Well I was doing a search on Whitlow and I found this ;-) Holy hell. Take care out there.

Whitlow - Symptoms, Causes, Treatments
[Search domain www.healthgrades.com/right-care/infecti ... es/whitlow] https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care ... es/whitlow
A whitlow is a painful and highly contagious infection on the fingers caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is also known as herpetic whitlow. There are two types of herpes simplex virus—type 1 and type 2—and both can cause herpetic whitlow.
Herpetic whitlow

A herpetic whitlow is a lesion (whitlow) on a finger or thumb caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is a painful infection that typically affects the fingers or thumbs. Occasionally infection occurs on the toes or on the nail cuticle. Herpes whitlow can be caused by infection by HSV-1 or HSV-2.[1] HSV-1 whitlow is often contracted by health care workers that come in contact with the virus; it is most commonly contracted by dental workers and medical workers exposed to oral secretions.[2][3] It is also often observed in thumb-sucking children with primary HSV-1 oral infection (autoinoculation) prior to seroconversion,[1] and in adults aged 20 to 30 following contact with HSV-2-infected genitals

JAMES WHITLOW and JAMIE RHODES
This was posted in a Khmer news report 4 hours ago. (Shame that the names given in the Khmer media are still incorrect.)

Have the British Embassy made any noises yet about doing everything in their power to ensure a just legal process for Whitlow and Rhodes ? Are they sending comfort packages for the prisoners ? Oatmeal and ovaltine ? Real ale ?
Are the Brits doing anything at all about these disgraceful scammers ?
