A peaceful stroll on the beach in Sihanoukville on Tuesday soon turned stressful for a female tourist. Carrying the usual tourist items – cash and a camera – the woman was approached by two men, aged 25 and 27.

Exhibiting some handiwork, one of them snatched the bag from the woman and they both made a dash for it along the sand. Their getaway skills weren’t quite as polished, however, and police soon arrested them. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
