A second-hand clothes vendor is feeling glad that someone was keeping an eye on the fast hands of a customer who tried snatching her mobile phone yesterday in Meanchey district.

After the device was set down next to her bike helmet, a nearby shopowner noticed the suspect pocket it before apprehending her.

The relief of having her gadget back must have been enough for the victim, as she asked that the thief be sent to a social worker rather than pressing charges.
