Young thief fishes for phones, catches charge
A teenaged thief using a long pole with a basket on the end to steal two phones through an open window ended up getting the short end of the stick when he was caught in the act, police in Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district said.

Cops teach criminal mentor valuable lesson
FOLLOWING a several-hour chase, police finally caught an alleged criminal-of-all-trades on Saturday.

After escaping police in Kandal’s Sa’ang district, the alleged veteran of dirty dealings made it to Phnom Penh’s Dangkor district, and dumped a gun, before he was arrested. Police are now questioning him and searching for accomplices. Nokorwat

A DISPUTE over table arrangements led to blows in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district on Saturday. Police said that a clothes shop employee became enraged when her co-worker placed a cup of coffee on top of her packet of medicine.

Purse snatchers foiled by vigilante teamwork

Military police intervened, forcing the suspects to ditch the purse and escape on foot into a village, where a group of villagers captured them.

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...
