Police say a sex worker became a pickpocket artist on Monday night in the capital’s Daun Penh district.

The 30-year-old woman supposedly lifted the cellphone of a drunken customer and handed it off to someone else while haggling over a price for the evening.

The john told police that the alleged theft occurred when the woman leaned in to hug him. Police arrested the sex worker but apparently let the man walk. KOH SANTEPHEAP
