A former security guard decided to try his luck on the other side of the law, quitting his job and taking to phone snatching in Phnom Penh.

The one-time protector was nabbed by police on Monday after he tried to grab an iPhone out of a woman’s hand near the riverside.

Her grip, however, proved too tight for the impotent imp, whose unsuccessful dalliance with dastardliness ended with his arrest by nearby police.
