Two men failed big time at playing it cool when they were stopped by cops for a routine helmet check, then tried sprinting away in Phnom Penh’s Chroy Changvar district yesterday.

After being pulled over at the checkpoint, the two tried fleeing on foot but were chased and apprehended by the boys in blue.

Their fate was sealed when lock-picking tools were discovered in their moped, and they were arrested and sent downtown for questioning.
