It's never good to extort anyone, but a Pursat province drug addict didn’t have any qualms about threatening his own mother for the return of his bicycle yesterday.

After pawning the thing in Kandieng district the suspect demanded his mum buy it back. She did, but stashed it in a hidden spot, then reported her offspring to police.

The suspect was hauled away in cuffs to be detained at the district station.
