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.

Why not? If a methamphetamine head can do it, why can't you?

Here is a video of James Whitlow's arrest, along with his associate in crime. You can hear Whitlow swearing that he's done nothing wrong, and that he has no idea what any of this is about. Then he gets angry when they cuff him, and you can see he's trying very hard to convince them to not put cuffs on him. Once they get the first one on, he then becomes agitated and complains that his arms are too big, and that they can't put the cuffs on him. You can see when he's arguing from the backseat of the car that they eventually put both cuffs on him.

His accomplice swears that he was just giving James Whitlow a ride somewhere for $50 and knows nothing about any wrongdoings, but the police aren't having it.

The video shows them receive goods at the front a hotel (which asked not to be named) and then sneaking out the back and taking off in the getaway car.

Someone also reached out to CEO on Facebook and told us that the name he was arrested under (Stuart Lee Breakell) is Whitlow's half brother. They told us that Whitlow was also scamming people back in the UK and in Tenerife, Spain when he lived there, and was also a petty drug dealer, although we can't confirm any of this.



Here is an automatically translated transcript of what the narrator on the video was saying:

'A music video for Samuth, viewers and viewers of this video has been released, so please be careful and do not do one thing that online business people should be careful about talking about the suspect and the victim have made an appointment to hand over the material.

An appointment was made to bring an appointment to a hotel, who asked not to be named, and the suspect boarded the vehicle, carrying the items he had ordered from the victim in his hand, and the suspect tried to escape. From the victim and told the victim to sit and wait for pity first, he took the material and showed it to his wife after telling and did not try to run away until the victim followed behind until he reached the place where he said Expensive life does not interest anyone, but costs people

Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at the car drop-off point at the drop-off point, and immediately the faction came to pick him up in a Lexus 330 car.'

In a certain hotel recently, Mr. Whitlow checked in using fake ID but he was discovered after calling his WIFI personal hotspot 'Whitlow'. :facepalm: Then was swiftly moved on.

"until he reached the place where he said Expensive life does not interest anyone, but costs people" ^^^

He had a spiritual awakening??
A veritable Road to Damascus moment
....in the middle if getting arrested?

Well, i suppose it does happen.

He'll probably show up on TV as an evangelical preacher next time we see him.

Let's just hope the police have been given a heads up about this guy and understand they are dealing with crime wave lasting years. And hopefully social media will do it's thing and many of the victims come forward and really nail him to the cross.

CEO and TOF are doing their best, and FB will be abuzz. But will the police connect the dots?

So, how is Mr WayTooLow going to do his time?

King Rat of the cell block?
Put in his place?
Shanked, with a gaol-made shiv?
Comes out a tele-evangelist, with a crime gang already signed up as the first 12 disciples?
