After Kep Chuktema, the governor of the city of Phnom Penh, issued an order on Monday for the police and military police forces to take down the AK-47 bandits group in the city of Phnom Penh, the bandits changed the location of their activities by moving from Phnom Penh to Kandal province instead. The Koh Santepheap newspaper reported that the AK-47 bandits conducted an armed robbery on National Road No. 4, at 7:40 am on Monday, in front of the Bek Chan market located in Ang Snuol district, Kandal province. The group of 4 bandits traveled on a motorcycle, and used an AK-47 riffle to hit, to shoot to threaten and to rob 3 motorcycles from the travelers along the road, but they were successful in snatching away 2 motorcycles only. Among the two motorcycle owners who were robbed, one was beaten up on the head by the bandits. One 2006 C90-model and one 2007 C125-model motorcycles were robbed by the bandits After the incident, the Ang Snuol police force came out to ambush the robbers also, but it seems that these robbers have their hideout, and they knew where the cops set up their checkpoints, this information allows them to safely escape.
