A man was wrong when he thought he could pull a fast one over a sleeping victim in Battambang last week.

The man, 34, allegedly broke into a house on Wednesday and stole $120, a laptop and a mobile phone while the owner, 26, was asleep, police said.

The owner filed a complaint and police located the man two days later. The man admitted to spending all the money and trying to sell the goods.

Police raided his rental room and claimed to have found the stolen items. Nokorwat
