The robbery of a Lexus RX-300 and the kidnap of the car owner’s nephew took place at Phnom Penh’s Kandal market on Monday, according to Daun Penh’s Police Chief. The kidnap victim escaped in Rokakong commune, in the Mok Kampol district of Kandal province, near National Highway 6A

Police said that at 10.15 pm in front of a house on Street 136, a team of three robbers stole the Lexus belonging to Lim Heng Khoeun, 56, a Kandal market vendor. “Unfortun-ately, a motorist took a gun and drove quickly away,” the police source added. The gang took the young man Rokakong, driving very quickly. The young man broke his bonds and went to local villagers to send information to his uncle and family, the police officer recounted.

Local police have not yet arrested any of the robbers despite an ongoing search.
