Cops in Banteay Meanchey province caught up with an opportunistic thief on Monday after he swiped a smartphone from the lounge of the guesthouse where he was staying in Poipet town.

The 29-year-old suspect reportedly lifted the handset after spotting it on his way out the door for a midnight bite, but unbeknownst to him, a staff member saw him do it and called the police, who were waiting for him when he returned from eating.
