Bathroom burglars see plan go down the drain

Three burglars in Kampong Cham town were captured by local residents as they attempted to enter a property from its roof.

The trio had been spotted scoping out the property by a neighbour earlier, who believed them when they claimed to be entering to fix a bathroom.

But when the house’s owner came back to be told there were men inside, they sounded the alarm, and the neighbours detained the men until police arrived. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
