ROBBERY WARNING IN SIEM REAP!!!

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.

they took his wallet took the money and threw the wallet at him and gave him the finger!


Hmm, (1) why take out the contents and return the wallet with your fingerprints on it? (2) How many Khmers have you ever seen giving people "the finger"? (3) That's a very detailed account of someone who's been hit in the head and had their nose broken.

This is not passing the sniff test.

It happened and happens also phone s and bags not strapped down in bicycle baskets.. Most of the time it's young groups of punks from out side area..

The worst thing is ts not reported like it should be

Also anyone that hangs around Sok San late at night is a target

Sure, the cops would catch them in no time using their giant database, or test it for DNA. :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

1 - no thief wants a wallet/bag, just the cash, and no cop shop will dust fingerprints from a wallet after a robbery - what do you think this is an episode of CSI Miami?

2 - I have seen shitloads of Khmer people giving the finger, and idk about you but I tend to remember important details clearly, especially when there's high emotion of any kind involved

And it is exactly the sort of thing that can happen to naive young people late in the evening on Soksan road, Siam Reap
