A persistent, if a little stupid, burglar was detained by angry neighbours and turned over to police on Saturday after multiple attempts at stealing a motorbike.

Police said the suspect, 25, had roamed an area of the capital’s Sen Sok district on Friday, eventually targeting the home of a student with a sweet set of wheels.

Neighbours thwarted his attempts at breaking in, however, and the suspect escaped. The next day he returned and was about to make off on the bike when he was spotted. NOKORWAT
