A cheque fraudster didn’t account for the power of mass communication when he was arrested by Banteay Meanchey provincial police, who were alerted about the scam from Phnom Penh officials.

Mongkol Borei district police received the dispatch, tracked down the cross-country conman, arrested him on Friday and sent him back to the big city to face similarly big charges.
