Armed robbers rethink target of poor farmer
Three men abandoned an attempted armed robbery of the home of a 27-year-old female farmer in Banteay Meanchey province’s Poipet town on Sunday, after conceding that the woman probably had nothing of value for them to steal. Police said three masked men entered the house and threatened the woman, who was home alone at the time, repeatedly with a gun, before deciding that her claims of poverty were believable and fleeing the scene empty-handed and without harming her.
