It took months, but a Tbong Khmom province robber is behind bars after his arrest on Monday. Police said the man had managed to elude capture after stealing a moto at gunpoint.

The close call didn’t translate into any particular care on his part, however, as police saw him pass this week and acted on the long-standing arrest warrant. He subsequently copped to using violence, illegally owning a gun and buying stolen property. KOH SANTEPHEAP
