Russey Keo District Authority Gives Security Advice for Jewelry Vendors

Written by Administrator -- Sunday, 06 September 2009

Phnom Penh´s Russey Keo district governor on Friday invited all Jewelry vendors to explain how to secure their business after a rash of jewelry robberies in Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh Municipal Police Chief Touch Naroth, Khlaing Hourt Russey Keo district governor, and vice district governor Nut Put Dara attended in a meeting with all Cambodian jewelry vendors in Russey Keo. Chey So Sela, police chief of Russey Keo district, reported at the meeting that 12 of the 175 jewelry shops in the area have been robbed.

In early 2009, Russey Keo saw 90 cases of robbery, including 41 aggravated cases, and all resulted in the loss of jewelry and money, the local authority added.

Khlaing Hourt apologized to all jewelry vendors for what had happened to them, local police said.
“All vendors should investigate suspicious persons and should call police immediately if needed,” Khlaing Hourt said.

Touch Naroth suggested that “All security guards should protect … yourselves first, because it is the best way for the local authority, especially the market chief, who is the main person in this case.”

Naroth had three strategies for jewelry vendors: install a secret alarm, use thicker glass and cooperate to share experience, local police said.
