LITTLE LARCENIST TO BE RE-EDUCATED
Police in Banteay Meanchey province’s Poipet town arrested a girl for allegedly persuading a younger friend into stealing jewellery for her. San Seila, 14, was hauled in after the mother of the other girl said that San Seila had convinced her daughter to steal a necklace and a ring from the family home. Police said that San Seila had perpetrated this scheme many times but had never before been reported, but that they planned to talk to her family and re-educate her rather than send her to jail.
