COP ROBBED IN BED IN KAMPONG CHAM
Three robbers in Kampong Cham province’s Memot district targeted the house of a police officer on Monday night, making away with an unknown amount of money and jewellery. The police officer said he had been on edge all day Monday, largely because his dogs were barking around the clock. He even investigated the woods around his house before going to bed, but he did not see anyone. As he was falling asleep, the robbers entered the house and demanded money and jewellery from him and his wife. They managed to escape, as the police officer was too frightened to chase them because they were wielding guns. Police are investigating the case.

DEN OF CARD ADDICTS RAIDED IN KANDAL
Police in Kandal province’s Koh Thom district raided a den full of men who are said to be addicted to card-playing, arresting seven of them. The operation was carried out on Sunday, and caught a group of about 20 men cockfighting and playing “illegal card games”. They all managed to escape when police descended on the house, but authorities later managed to nab seven of them. A nearby resident said many of the men were members of the same extended family, and that they all were “addicted to card-playing”. He expressed concern about the security risks caused by such games being permitted in the village. Police are continuing their search for the 13 men who absconded after the raid.
