Thieves Caught Escaping with Manhole Cover
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On October 14, 2021, at 4:30 pm two suspects stole a manhole cover in front of Niroth pagoda on National Road 1, Boeung Chhouk village, Sangkat Niroth, Khan Chbar Ampov. The suspects were a 32-year-old man, Yean Lay, a construction worker, and a 19-year-old man, Som Vathana, a construction worker as well; they are both from Khan Mean Chey.
According to the police, before the incident, the suspects drove up on a black Honda Wave with no registration number plate, with a cart attached behind it. At the location mentioned above, the pair opened up the manhole, detached the cover, and put on their cart, and escaped leaving the manhole wide open which would have caused accidents.
Luckily, a police patrol stopped the suspects and confiscated a manhole cover, a pair of scissors, 2 hammers, 2 spanners and 2 wrenches, and the motorbike with the cart. They are being held in custody.

I feel sorry for these young men. They have probably been searching for womenhole covers all their life and in desperation had to settle for a manhole cover.

Why? Scrap metal. Pretty desperate stuff but common in poorer parts of the world.

Indeed, in much of dhaka, this is a very common occurrence. Walking around at night, you'd need a torch to avoid falling down the many holes.Calypso dancer wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 7:01 am Why? Scrap metal. Pretty desperate stuff but common in poorer parts of the world.
