A trio of modern cowboys was nabbed in Preah Sihanouk province on Monday. They might not have been stealing stallions or wearing steel-toed boots, but the gun-toting boys had built up a reputation for waving around guns and pinching motorbikes in the province.

Police were tipped off when the gang turned up at a local karaoke joint on Monday night. They were arrested and a gun with six bullets was seized. Police are on the lookout for more accomplices. RASMEI KAMPUCHEA
