Phnom Penh Post - Sacks of rice provide no defence against guns
A tenacious trio of thieves broke into a home in Battambang, armed to the teeth, to rob two defenseless rice vendors on Sunday night.

They stripped the terrified traders of over $3,000 and took off, remaining at large as police begin to investigate the hold-up.
