8 June 2018
Phnom Penh: A group of foreign nationals were surprised by a motorbike snatch and grab at 10:20 pm on June 7, 2018, near the Wat Langka in Boeung Keng Kang I commune, Chamkar Mon district.

Police say the suspect, Sao Pov, 29, a Cambodian resident, who works as a construction worker and lives in a house in Stung Meanchey district,was driving a black motorbike with a license plate number Pursat 1A-3465.

The victim, Ann{ Enn Peyskg}, 35, works as an American teacher at Sisowath Quarter in Chey Chumneas district, Daun Penh district.

Police said that the group of foreigners saw the suspect approach them on a motorbike from behind and grab the handbag from the woman victim before he drove off from St 51 on the left. Police caught up with the thief on St 214.

What's that black studded thing?

Lipstick?

That foreign woman has almost nothing in her bag. Foreign expats are becoming savvy enough not to carry too much on them when out and about in Phnom Penh.
Compare that to another bag-snatching reported today. Four petty thieves were arrested in possession of the victim's handbag at 4:25pm at Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh.
