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.

I can only imagine this must have been an inside job, because with that amount of money, is anyone that stupid to have anything other than top shelf security personnel and security equipment/systems at locations anywhere money is held or while it is in transit throughout the casino premises.

Wait, I've just reminded myself that they don't call this place the KOW for nothing.

Yeah, inside job.
Reckon they sent the little girl on the left through the window , the big guy would be there to carry the safe, and I guess the other woman was also working there, maybe in the office. 8)

Why so much money left on the premises, is it petty cash being a casino. Why is it not in a bank earning interest until the casinos have been given the official go ahead to reopen and operate has normal.

UPDATE: Curiouser and curiouser. The latest report says that thief or thieves broke into the Chinese man's room at the casino and stole US$11,000 (NOT 110,000 as reported previously) from his room safe on the night of 24/25 August, and then he reported the theft to police on August 28, three days later.

Cambodia News, (Preah Sihanouk Province): Major General Chuon Narin, Preah Sihanouk Provincial Police Commissioner, said that on August 28, 2021, at 12:30pm, a Chinese man came to file a complaint for a theft that took place on August 25, 2021, at 3:00am, when thieves broke into Room 872 at Chang Chheng Casino, located in Village 3, Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville Province. They broke into the safe and escaped with $ 11,000 and a valuable watch.
After receiving the victim's complaint, the criminal police task force conducted a thorough search until 8:00 pm the same day, when they arrested three suspects.
