Robbers slip back into town

Phnom Penh: Robbers who strike while wearing only underwear, their bodies slathered with oil to make them slippery and harder to catch, have resurfaced in southern Cambodia.

Police thought they had quashed the “underwear gang” last year, with residents starting a community watch program, said Takeo province police chief Sok Tum Sok Tum, but the thieves resurfaced when the villagers stopped. – AP

    Thanks for the invite Jinja but I am back in New Zealand now. Maybe in Jan 2006 when I will briefly be back in Cambodia?
