In capital, passengers take cabbies for a ride , Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A taxi driver may be rethinking the night shift after his cab was taken for a joyride yesterday around the capital.

Hired to pick up two men at NagaWorld at 2am, the chauffeur drove them to Chamkarmon district.

When he stepped out to take the passenger’s payment, he was handed a fake $20 bill by one while the other hopped behind the wheel and they sped off.

The car’s GPS was tracked to Tuol Kork district where the suspects left it. They did not, unfortunately, leave the driver’s wallet or the $90 inside.
