A five-year friendship was apparently worth less than $500 to a Kampong Chhnang town woman who allegedly conned her pal out of a moto.

Police said the suspect had asked the victim, a long-time friend, to borrow her moto so she could take her mother to Phnom Penh.

The friend agreed, but grew suspicious after a few days, and filed a complaint with police. Police then arrested the suspect at her house, accused her of selling the moto and sent her to court. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
