Phnom Penh Post - Masked youths prove child’s play for police
Police were called to a Meanchey district primary school on Wednesday after pupils’ screams alerted teachers to four miniature masked thugs roaming the playground.

The police asked them to sign a pledge not to repeat the behaviour and let them go, but not before confiscating their masks.
