It wasn't speedboats that thieves were targeting in Stung Treng province – it was the boats’ motors.

The provincial court charged four men on Monday with the theft of four motors from boats in Thalar Borivat district.

Police arrested three of the men, aged 23, 26 and 33, on Saturday as they tried to deliver the motors to a 34-year-old man, who was later arrested himself.

The suspects confessed they had stolen more than 10 boat motors. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
