Even though the police sent out forces in drove to fight against the AK-47 bandits, up until now, this fight did not produce any results yet. To the contrary, the bandits are becoming more daring towards the cops. During a holdup held in the evening of 02 December, in Snor commune, Ang Snuol district, Kandal province, the AK-47 bandits were involved one more time. They went in to rob a family, tied up the family’s father and daughter, and they beat them up severely using a stick causing serious injuries to the family members. They then proceeded to rob all the wealth in the house. According to 65-year-old Ing Sokunthea, the owner of the house, the bandits count 5 members and they were armed with 5 AK-47 rifles. He said that the bandits entered his home at 7:30 PM, before the family even had dinner yet, the bandits took $1,000, a gold necklace chain, a platinum necklace chain, and a number of other objects.
