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.

Phnom Penh: On July 03 at 9:05 pm, two suspects identified as Phon Viseysan, 17 years old, a student at Tol Tomong High School and Chea Tong, 16 years old, were detained after trying to snatch a phone from a Chinese man in a tuk-tuk on street 163/330, Khan Cham Karmorn, Phnom Penh.

According to the tuk-tuk driver, he was taking the Chinese man to a hotel on street 163, but when he turned to street 330, the two suspects rode up on a motorbike to snatch the phone from the Chinse man. When he saw what was happening, the driver turned the tuk-tuk to attack the suspect's motorbike causing them to fail to the ground. After that, he cried out for help, and local people came running to help detain the suspects and hand them over to the police.

The suspects confessed that they had lost a lot of money on Wold Cup online betting. They decided to borrow the motorbike from another friend to go phone-snatching, to get the money for more betting to pay back their debt.
