A construction worker more prone to putting up doors than busting them down was arrested in the capital’s Sen Sok district on Tuesday, accused of breaking into a man’s house.

Police say the accused was working at a building site near where the victim lived and decided to use some of his tools to force his way inside when the man of the house was out.

The victim, however, arrived home while the builder was still on site. The story ends with neighbours severely beating the burglar until police arrived. KOH SANTEPHEAP
