Military Police officers foil bag thieves’ getaway

Two bag snatchers couldn’t hit the road fast enough and were nailed yesterday by Military Police in the capital’s Phsar Thmey III commune.

The pair pulled a handbag from their victim and tried to flee the scene. But they were tailed by the officers who caught up and arrested the pocketbook-pinching punks.

They were sent off to be charged at the police station and the bag was returned to its rightful owner.
