At the behest of his girlfriend, a Phnom Penh lothario professed his love to another woman – a friend of his sweetheart’s – over Facebook, and suggested an illicit hotel rendezvous on Sunday.

Instead of her Romeo, the lovestruck woman was met with one angry girlfriend and several accomplices, who tied her up, robbed her, and left her at the hotel.

Stealing hearts isn’t a crime, but this certainly was, and so police arrested the devious lovebirds on Monday.
