Residents in Banteay Meanchey’s Poipet district taught the police a thing or two about solving crimes on Tuesday when they nabbed a local thief.

A 22-year-old thought it was his lucky day when he stumbled across an unlocked car with more than $100 and a laptop inside.

But he wasn’t counting on the victim rallying the local community, who quickly chased him down and sent him straight to the police station.c KOH SANTEPHEAP
