Police hunt bridge bandits after attack

The occupants of a Toyota Hilux truck appear to have been operating like old-fashioned “your money or your life” highwaymen on Wednesday night.

Near Phnom Penh’s Chroy Changvar Bridge, they drove up behind and chased down two motorcyclists who had just traversed the crossing.

The terrified victims were robbed and beaten with stones and sticks, while the suspects are yet to be caught.
