The newspaper industry might be going through something of a rough patch, but one newsman may be rethinking his alternative choice of career after it landed him in court.

The man – identified as a local newspaper employee by police – snatched the bag of a Frenchwoman on May 17 while she was cycling in Siem Reap.

He managed to escape, but was later arrested and sent to court.
