LONELY GRANDMA A VICTIM OF ROBBERY
Police arrested one man and are looking for another after the duo allegedly stole jewellery and US$2,000 in cash from their own grandmother. Police said the brazen robbery happened Wednesday in the capital’s Tuol Kork district as the men visited their elderly relative. The woman was reportedly thrilled that her two grandsons popped by because they hardly ever visited her. But while the grandmother was busy cooking a scrumptious meal, the pair abruptly declared that they could not eat rice and left the house in a hurry. That’s when the grandmother found her money and jewellery missing. Police caught the two men, but one escaped.
