Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): A suspect was arrested by the Dangkor Administrative Police Station of Dangkor District Police Inspectorate at 11:30 am on August 20, 2021 after receiving a complaint from the suspect's brother-in-law, in the case of the intentional burning of his PassApp tuktuk at 4:00am on August 20, 2021 at house No. 450, Concrete Road, Khan Dangkor, Phnom Penh.

According to the police, the suspect was Bou Kunthor, a 37-year-old man, living at the same house as his brother-in-law named Lek Chanveasna, male, 31 years old, a PassApp tuktuk driver.

According to the information from the Dangkor Administration Post, this morning, August 20, 2021, the victim came to file a complaint with the police, because his brother-in-law got angry and set his tuktuk on fire with gasoline when he refused to lend him $600. The arsonist then ran away until he was captured by the police.

I only spent a short time in Cambodia in 2019 but $600 seems to me like an unreasonable amount of money to expect a tuk tuk driver to loan you during a pandemic
