Phnom Penh Post - Teen trio finds mangoes not so sweet as freedom
Three youths fell into the clutches of the long arm of the law after overreaching in their quest for ripe mangoes.

Police confiscated the mangoes – which may have gone missing in police custody around lunch time – before sending the fruit filching fiends to court.
