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.

We've been told James Whitlow is a free man now. He managed to smooth talk his way out of this, blaming it all on the Argentinian, Daniel.

Looks like Daniel is wanted for other things crimes as well, or this minimart staff is just super excited to see him:

Maybe he's cashed in his Lexus for freedom.

Is that "free" as in released without charge, or released on bail awaiting a trial?

What about the female? Out as well?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Previous poster said she was also released. To be fair she didn't seem to be very hands on in the scam so this is less of a surprise.

Sounds quite plausible given the circumstances of the crime. He would have portrayed his actions as simply "Helping a friend"... He most likely ran the line that he had no idea what his friend was doing and that he was just driving him to the hotel as his friend needed to meet someone. GIven it was Daniel that met the phone seller and "ran off" with his phones. A bit of fast talking and throwing your mate under the bus and you're home free tbh.

CEO and TOF are doing their best, and FB will be abuzz. But will the police connect the dots?
TOF and others have posted comments on the Cambodian Police FB news post about these 3.

Once the Argie finds out he's been dropped in it, he might start returning the favour.

If that was the smile mart on the junction of northbridge and 2004, i actually told the staff he had been arrested and they should contact the police. The guy in the shop just said they dont do anything about the people in the pictures, they put them up in the hope that the people dont return.
