Police Blotter: 10 Jan 2013

Moto thief fails to stay on task, winds up in jail
A Kandal moto thief proved a determined criminal on Monday when even the appearance of police failed to deter him from the beating he was administering. Police say the brazen 29-year-old stole a motorbike from in front of a Sa’ang district home when the victim emerged to confront him, only to catch a beating for his troubles – a beating that didn’t stop until police were forced to physically drag the thug off his victim. The violent hothead is now cooling off in a jail cell.  Kampuchea Thmey

Students swing samurai swords in skirmish
A group of 10 students put down their books and picked up their samurai swords on Monday for a small-scale war in Siem Reap. Police said the young ne’er-do-wells, who had fought it out before, started with typical smack talk before reaching for their swords and battling in a public street. The group scattered when cops arrived, but three were apprehended and have been sent to court. Koh Santepheap

Burglary bungled when cops arrive on the scene
A homeowner's holiday visit to the provinces meant tempting opportunity for a trio of burglars in the capital’s Sen Sok district this week. Unfortunately for our three knuckleheads, the easy score proved illusory as local cops on patrol spotted them mid-break-in and swooped in on the scene. A short foot chase later, the threesome were in cuffs and confessing to their scheme.  Rasmey Kampuchea

Thieves miss out on necklace, and balance
A would-be victim of necklace snatching came out no worse for wear on Sunday after a hapless attempt to steal her jewellery. Cops said she was riding her moto in Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district when a pair of goons drove by and attempted to rip the necklace off her neck. Luckily for her, it was the clumsy criminals that ended up tumbling from their moto and sent sprawling into the street. Panicked, the duo fled and are now being sought by police. Koh Santepheap

Police said the 15-year-old was on her way to school when the suspect, who witnesses say was speeding out of control, crashed into her, then fled the scene. The victim is now being treated in hospital, while police are on the hunt for the escaped suspect. Kampuchea Thmey

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

                        (Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen.   Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

The White Rose in Battambang

 The White Rose is Khmer owned and is located on the corner of St 121 and Road 2.5. This place serves good Khmer dishes for reasonable prices and some western foods. They also serve some of the best shakes in town. This place has a balcony, patio area which visitors can sit and watch the streets below where vendors sell their wares to those walking the streets. The White Rose also has a nice desert menu and ice cream that reminds me of home. This place also offers free Wi-Fi. Cleanness When the day starts of here, the place is set nice, with your typical glass, silver ware wrapped in cloth and set up nicely on the tables. I guess when this place gets real busy, the place starts looking neglected due to short of workers and the many things that are going on. To me, I think the place is under staffed and would probably run better if they were up to pace with workers. But besides that, everything else is typical Cambodia so if you don't mind that, then everything s...
