A worker in Phnom Penh’s Dangkor commune had her back covered by colleagues who apprehended another woman who tried stealing her phone on Saturday while she was on her lunch break.

Stepping out for a minute to buy food, the woman left her device at her workstation, and when a stranger sauntered in and pocketed it, co-workers immediately noticed and caught her.

The garment factory gadget grabber was forwarded to police who are pursuing legal action.
