All wasn’t quiet on the farm yesterday morning after vigilante villagers started pursuing their own form of justice following an attempted motorbike theft.

When a female farm worker in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district forgot to remove her keys from the ignition, a 28-year-old thief gunned it.

He didn’t get far before the woman screamed and villagers pursued the man, punching and slapping him from the vehicle. Police took the suspect into custody. Koh Santepheap
