A 30-year-old woman was left with serious injuries after she was attacked and robbed in her own home on Sunday.

Police said the Phnom Penh woman returned home to find a masked thief who had snuck into her home while no one was in.

Naturally, she screamed for help, and although the intruder tried to physically restrain her, a neighbour heard her cries. Realising he was about to be nabbed, the thief fled. DEUM AMPIL
