Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): On January 15, 2021, Mr. Duong Dara, Secretary of State of the Office of the Council of Ministers and Assistant to Samdech Techo HE, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, posted a message on his official Facebook page about a criminal who broke the windows of his car and stole the wing mirrors.



Mr. Duong Dara confirmed that this is the second time that a thief has come to his house. He says " I checked the security camera and I saw that last night at 1:30 am, a masked thief broke my car windows on both sides and smashed the right side of the car parked in front of the house where I live today. "
Police are hunting for the perpetrator.

She'll be back!

UPDATE

According to a source from one of Duong Dara's bodyguards, at about 3 o'clock in the morning on January 15, he woke up and heard the sound of the breaking car windshield, and opened the door to see a suspect escaping.

According to the same source, two suspects on a motorcycle stopped nearby and stole the mirrors on both sides of the car before disappearing. Later, the thieves returned and hit the right-hand window with some rocks in order to open the door to steal things in the car, but they did not succeed in the robbery and all of them escaped.

It should be noted that the car was parked in front of the house near the sidewalk, without a fence or any other protection except for the security guard.

He's getting fired...

I'm just shocked that the assistant to the Prime Minister of Cambodia drives an old Lexus and lives in a dumpy shophouse.

I'd figure he'd be in a purple Lamborghini or something.

And according to the article Duong has more than one body guard. But only one noticed something?

They let the thieves make a getaway, not once, but twice? This sounds fishy.

Not that old. Maybe 2016?

Right, I thought I'd seen him before, (he has an excellent set of teeth). He's the guy who rescued poor old Tom in Kampot on the behalf of HE.
