Police Blotter: 28 Feb 2013


Booze and bovines: not a good mix for bikers
Colliding with a cow while biking buzzed is probably not the best way to impress your father – particularly when he’s director of the provincial department of environment. But being knocked unconscious in such an incident on Tuesday temporarily precluded a 19-year-old man in Kampong Chhnang town from worrying that his progenitor would, well, have a cow. The young man was sent to hospital, and police noted both man and beast were at fault: The teen shouldn’t have been driving while drunk, and the cow shouldn’t have been allowed to roam freely.Nokorwat

Off-key brawl puts end to upbeat tune and croon
Four men eager to showcase their solo singing talents at a Battambang town restaurant reacted rather violently to three other men hogging the stage on Tuesday. Police said the two groups had been drinking when the quartet decided they’d been subjected to the trio’s stylings for long enough. The two groups fought furiously, destroying the restaurant’s property, which distracted the owners and allowed other patrons to slip out without paying. Police arrested the three successful crooners and are hoping to arrest the four who missed out on the spotlight. Rasmey Kampuchea  
 
Buzzcuts of different kind prove barber’s undoing  
After a small drug bust in Kampong Cham town on Monday, police are hoping they’ll be able to follow the trail of meth crumbs back to a major dealer. The pair of teens arrested for carrying two packages of ya ma on Monday told police that a local barber had sold them the goods, and sure enough, police found 14 packages of meth when they raided the barber’s shop. They are looking for a woman the barber claimed was his supplier. Nokorwat   

Man buries the hatchet into the back of his rival
A 24-year-old man attending a wedding in Mondulkiri province’s Keo Seima district on Tuesday learned that a grudge-bearing fellow guest had chosen not to bury the proverbial hatchet but rather to sink a literal axe into his back, seriously injuring him, while everyone was dancing. Police arrested the axe-swinger the next day. 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...
