A recycler in Phnom Penh “recycled” a $300 necklace on Tuesday, despite the fact its owner was wearing it at the time.

Police said the female victim was riding on a motorbike through Meanchey district when the accused and his cohort allegedly executed the snatch and sped off on a motorbike.

Nearby police caught up with the snatcher, 18, but his accomplice got away and the necklace was not recovered. NOKORWAT
