Robbers outside Cambodian bank net 50,000 dollars, police say

Phnom Penh - Armed robbers committed a brazen afternoon stickup outside a bank and made off with an estimated 50,000 dollars, in one of the biggest robberies of its kind in the country's history, police said Tuesday. A Daun Penh district police source said the thieves took the cash at gunpoint in broad daylight at around lunchtime as the customer left Acleda Bank, a major bank in the Cambodian capital.

Last year, members of an Indonesian-led ring were jailed for robbing wealthy-looking bank clients by flattening their car tyres and following them until they were forced to get out of the vehicle.

But police said the haul in Tuesday's robbery exceeded any of those, and was not believed to be linked. The robbers remained at large.

This aint America or other countries, fool. Most places only accept cash here. If you were to buy land or a car, u have to give them cash. Most don't accept a check. Don't say shit if u don't know shit.

SPEAKING FROM THE ROBBER HIMSELF. ROBBERS ALWAYS FAVOR THEIR OWN KIND. YOU HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR ANYBODY. PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T BE CALLED HUMAN AT ALL.

MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO CARRY ALL THAT CASH TO BUY THINGS AS MOST PLACES DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE. THAT MAY BE THEIR ONLY LIFE SAVING.

If it this easy to escape that means Khmer's polices or cops are not even worthed to protect the society.

You are a complete dumbass. Those people are rich already. That's like saying it could be Bill Gates shoplifting. Stop think out of your ass. That brain of yours, try to use it. I know it's been forever since you last used it but just try ok? lol

Rich people have bodyguards waiting for them outside the bank, motherfucker! If u have any sense, u wld feel some sympathy for people cuz it might be your mama or relatives. But then again, a robber doesn't have any regards for people lives or feeling. So it's useless to encourage u to grow some brain cells as it will die out anyway.

It is hilarious to compare the ill-gotten nouveau riches in Cambodia to Bill Gate!!!! What a dumb-ass idea????

I guess even a crook tries to justify and be like an inventor/investor who made positive impact on litterally millions of people.
