A larcenous lessee in Phnom Penh’s Kakab commune got her comeuppance on Sunday thanks to her landlord.

According to police, the suspect sneaked into a neighbour’s room and made off with several pieces of jewellery and cash while the occupant was shopping.

Finding her room ransacked, the tenant alerted the landlord, who said she had seen the suspect enter the room. Cops were called and the unneighbourly neighbour was hauled downtown.
