A recently released convict reverted back to his robbery ways after just three months of freedom, stealing a woman’s purse in Phnom Penh yesterday.

The serial criminal must have missed the cold comfort of a prison cell, but found himself familiarly back in custody for theft and drug possession.

Police heeded a woman’s cry for help, chasing down the thief and turning up the stolen purse, along with a small package of crystal meth.
