A pair of alleged thieves picked the wrong house to rob in the capital’s Daun Penh district on Tuesday.

Police said the duo broke into a residence but were spotted by a neighbour, who called the homeowner.

A bodyguard by trade, the owner returned and locked his gate, trapping the suspects.

He then flushed the pair out, grabbed them and dragged them into the street, where villagers gave them a working over before police arrived. NOKORWAT
