It's amazing how often police are just at the right place at the right time, as they were in Sihanoukville on Saturday, when they were within earshot of neighbours who cried for help when they spotted two men trying, unsuccessfully, to break into a house.

The failed robbers, who had taken advantage of the householder leaving her home to sell goods on the beach, were chased and nabbed by the cops.

The pair, both in their late twenties, confessed to being serial burglars and were sent to court.
