Members of the army appear to have taken to looting after three uniformed but unidentified suspects were reported stealing jewellery and other booty from a home in Kampot on Wednesday.

Police said that a grocery-vendor couple in their forties were robbed of 1.2 million riel (about $300), a bracelet and two mobile phones.

The suspects fled before police arrived, but authorities remain in pursuit.
