While out on patrol protecting other houses from theft, a Phnom Penh cop’s own home was subject to a break-in.

After the officer and his wife left their Choam Chao abode on Wednesday, a burglar cut the lock and made off with a motorbike and TV.

Returning in the evening to discover the door ajar and missing property, the patrolman headed back to his workplace to file a report.
