Stealing candy from a baby is easy, but four capital men had a harder time trying to rob a sweets shop on a primary school campus on Tuesday.

Returning to check her Por Sen Chey district store in the evening, the owner discovered a group of thugs had cracked the lock.

She screamed out for help before villagers and nearby security guards amassed to catch the culprits. All four were handed over to police for legal action.
