Never steal a 70cc when  you’re on CCTV

A Joyriding garment worker’s freedom was not even hanging by a thread on Wed-nesday after she was caught on video stealing her colleague’s Honda Cub motorbike. After making a getaway from the factory, in the capital’s Dangkor district, on the 70cc moto, it was another type of CC – a security camera – that proved her undoing. Police said the owner checked the CCTV footage at the factory and relived the woman’s crime, which led to police arresting her. Koh Santepheap

Wrong too strong for wife of wan Don Juan

A Lackluster lothario turned in a pitiful performance when he unsuccessfully tried to entice his wife into making a romantic getaway with him on a stolen motorbike. Police said the suspect stole his friend’s moto on Wednesday night and, rather unimaginatively, hid it in a forest to collect the next day. The man tried to lure his wife to Kampong Cham in the morning, but upon noticing their carriage was a rather unappealing – and stolen – moto, she was suitably turned off. The man rode solo and was arrested the next day. Kampuchea Thmey

Punks who packed a punch picked a phone from a pocket – and  picked a fight in the process – in a park on Saturday.

One of them forced a phone from the man and, when the victim shouted for help, the larger of the two men began to beat him. His cries alerted nearby police who arrived in time to arrest the suspects.
