Gesturing thieves are one short of a dozen

The furtive gestures of 11 people who had allegedly attempted a robbery in Phnom Penh quickly caught the attention of patrolling police on Monday night.

Fortunately, police caught a solo rider who was found with a sword and hauled him away to the police station. Police are hunting the other 10 perpetrators who got away.
