A bad day got much worse for a student in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district, when a moto breakdown proved the ideal time for a group of thieves to steal the damaged ride.

Police said the young man was driving home from school on Friday when his motorbike quit. He hopped off to examine it, only to be joined by a group of men brandishing a knife.

Panicking, the victim handed over the bike, and the suspects fled. The suspects are still at large. Deum Ampil
