A budding boat burglar was caught on Monday, just two days after he allegedly hijacked a vessel in Kandal’s Sa’ang district. The 16-year-old prospective pirate commandeered the vessel after it was left unattended at the town dock.

The owner returned from a daytrip to Phnom Penh to find his skiff had simply disappeared and promptly called local police. Cops found the juvenile joyriding down the river and ended his riverine adventure.
