Robbing houses turned out to be both a fall from grace and a fall flat on the face for two men in Kampong Cham town on Saturday.

Police said the partners in crime were ransacking a first-floor apartment when the loud cries of a neighbour caused them to lose their footing and plummet to the ground below.

The neighbour and others alerted authorities then made citizens’ arrests as the robbers, with bruised bodies and egos, tried to make a hobble for it. Deum Ampil
