A gang of cruel criminals showed how little they care for their victims, after they seriously injured a Phnom Penh woman whilst snatching her bag.

The crime took place at 5 am on October 20, 2024, near the Stung Meanchey flyover on Street 217 in Sangkat Tumnup Teuk, Khan Meanchey.

Sources say that the victim was riding to Deum Kor Market – where she works as a vegetable vendor – when 2 thugs grabbed her bag and wrenched her off her moving moto, before accelerating away.

The victim suffered serious injuries from her fall and was rushed to hospital.

Police are now searching for the heartless felons.
