Victory party cut short for pair of moto thieves

Police pooped the party of a pair of raving motorbike robbers in Kandal province on Friday. The pair, along with two accomplices, had earlier allegedly threatened to kill a farmer and his girlfriend before making off with the farmer’s moto.

They rode it to the capital and passed it on to a fifth accomplice, before hitting a disco and a swanky eatery. Waiting cops nabbed them on the way back. Their three accomplices are at large and the bike is yet to be recovered. KOH SANTEPHEAP
