A capital man just wanted a safe place to charge his phone, but he ended up next to a thief at a Daun Penh district java joint.

After sitting down to a cup of coffee on Saturday and plugging in his iPhone 6, the victim saw a moto driver pocket the mobile and begin to flee.

Luckily, his call for aid was answered by nearby police who caught the suspect, returned the costly gadget to its rightful owner and are pursuing charges against the caffeinated crook.
