Hanoi - Cambodian police have arrested one of four men who allegedly stole a kilogram of gold and 20,000 dollars from a jewellery store in Vietnam, a Vietnamese police official said Monday. Cambodian citizen Chum Chech, 24, was arrested in Cambodia's Prey Veng province based on information supplied by Vietnamese police, said Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Cao of the provincial police in Tay Ninh province.
Chech is accused of being one of four men who robbed a jewellery store in Tay Ninh on April 14.
"We cannot extradite him for trial in Vietnam because the two countries have not signed an extradition treaty," Cao said. "The robbers will be tried in Cambodia under Cambodian law."
Cao said Chech had named his accomplices, who were reportedly armed and hiding in Cambodia.
He reportedly confessed that the group decided to rob the store because they needed money for a Cambodian holiday. They bought the two AK-47s and crossed into Vietnam on motorbikes and went to Tan Lap market, according to police.
They made the jewellery store owner to open his safe, and then forced him, his wife, and a housekeeper into a room and locked the door before fleeing back to Cambodia, police said.
Cao said police were still searching for the other three men.

Noway ! The man is protected by the Cambodian constitution.
THe Cambodian government has not Extradition treaty with Vietnam, but in 2008 sent TIM SAKHAN , a Cambodian monk in Takeo province, to Vietnam, to be tried and jailed.
Valets of Vietnam: AH Fake monks TEP VONG, AH LON NGET.....and the CPP
Mr. Tim Sakhan or Phikouk Sakhan has had a dual citizenship. His case was very complicated. You can't compare with the case of Chum Chech. He is a Cambodian citizenship.
You need to know more about the rule of dual citizenship, like many of us, who have the Khmer-US, Khmer-EU or Khmer-Australian citizenship.
Mr 6:23 PM. Are you aware that TIM SAKHAN was SECRETELY sent to Vietnam with the Approval of Tep Vong and the Khmer government?.
It was not only an illegal deportation, but a CPP Servility to Vietnam.
How come Khmer Police had helped Yuon to catch the thief that had steal something in Vietnam???
Beside the khmer police should make more effort to catch thieves in Khmer Land too. Especially in Phnom Penh, these jewellery's thieves have killed so many jewellery's store owner !!
Something strange, Yuon has more power on khmer's police !!!
