Cops use CCTV to catch half of moto thieving duo

A Phnom Penh moto thief avoided splitting the booty with his erstwhile accomplice on Friday after his partner in crime was identified by a security camera and brought to justice.

The duo had pilfered a moto from a woman’s house as she was shopping, but were tracked down by the fuzz thanks to CCTV footage.

While his 28-year-old partner was successfully snared by the cops, this slippery customer managed to escape on the misappropriated moto.
