A pair of thieves learned the hard way in a study-supply shop in Banteay Meanchey’s Preah Netr Preah district when they allegedly attempted to steal a camera.

The two young men entered the shop pretending to buy some books, and when the seller was busy, put the camera in their bag and biked off.

But patrolling officers heard the retailer’s shouts and chased the duo, intercepting and arresting them a few kilometres from the shop. KOH SANTEPHEAP
