Sticks and stones may break bones, but they are also proven as effective means of moto theft in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district.

Police say, three teenagers were on their way home on Wednesday night when they were accosted by a group of five assailants riding a gold MSX motorbike who proceeded to hurl rocks at them.

The youths were forced to abandon their vehicles in fear and run to villagers for help. Despite locals turning out in force, the suspects fled with the bikes before being identified or intercepted by police.
