Phnom Penh police saw everything from the planning stages to the (failed) execution of a motorbike theft in Por Sen Chey district yesterday, and arrested one of the two suspects.

The officers were on patrol when they spotted the suspicious motorists and tailed them before the passenger hopped off and tried cracking the lock of a scooter parked nearby.

The 35-year-old was quickly apprehended and left to visit police headquarters alone as his bud zoomed off into the night.
