Whatever happened to...
The Oily Underpants Gang?
When I arrived in Cambodia the Oily Underpants Gang was running wild.
(not to be confused with the Underwear Only Street Fighting Gangs)
They first appeared in the SE but before long there was not a province in the country were this bunch of slippery thieves had not struck. Early- mid 2000's.
“Robbers who strike while wearing only underwear, their bodies slathered with oil to make them slippery and harder to catch, have resurfaced in Cambodia. Two unidentified, underwear-clad burglars robbed homes in the southern province of Takeo on May 30, The Cambodia Daily quoted area police chief Sok Tum as saying. Police thought they had quashed the "underwear gang" last year, the report said.
They wear only underwear in an attempt to make themselves harder to identify and the oil makes them impossible to catch. Residents had started a community watch program to prevent such crimes, Sok Tum said. But "the underwear gangs resurfaced in my region because the villagers stopped," he said.
