Kampot Burglary. Most of it is Drug Related.
The Andong Khmer/Tedab Communes starting just behind the Concrete Bridge on NR 3 also called "Intl.Village" by some Real Estate Agent and "Kmaut Jao" meaning the Ghost of the Thief prior to the start of Barangs moving in by locals from Kampot had little to no thefts at all during recent years. BUT, times are changing and with Covid19 around some people become Creative.
One of my american neigbors had it's pressure washer and lawnmower stolen a few day's ago. Main suspects are some workers that he had for a week and than left. It may have not been one of them though because all of them went for a drink after work and mingled with some local "unemployed" kids that sit and drink there every night till midnight and beyond. Simply by listening in to the conversation they pretty much know all the details. We'll probably never know BUT local Police here often is much more clever than meets the eye and get their info through the same BushRadio than the culprits and therefore often capture them after a relative short time.
