Thanx for your support, rebo. Here's a few more for you...
A little light alitteration
Rueful recidivous rascal recently re-arrested
The justice system was happy to welcome back a young offender arrested on Sunday for selling a stolen moto in Takeo’s Bati district. Police said that the 17-year-old had only finished a previous prison sentence a month ago when he was caught selling the stolen vehicle. The repeat offender’s alibi that he had bought the moto for $1,200 eventually imploded, and he confessed to the theft. Police returned the moto to its rightful owner and sent the young man back to court. Kampuchea Thmey
Sartorial stealing...
Garment workers grab get-up from factory
The latest autumn fashions proved a tad too tempting to a pair of Takeo garment workers this week. The duo, aged 30 and 31, tried to slip out with some of their wares on Wednesday, only to be tripped up by factory security. Turned over to Bati district police, the duo quickly confessed, adding that they had pilfered the duds because they could never afford to buy them. Kampuchea Thmey
Don't complain about the food in this greasy spoon...
Plate, chopstick attack lands man behind bars
A drunk Vietnamese man was forced to eat his insulting words to a woman in Kandal province on Wednesday when her husband attacked him with a pair of chopsticks and a plate to the head and eyes. After the quarreller’s ego was served back to him on a platter, his family reported the violation of dining etiquette to Koh Thom district police. The chopstick-wielder was subsequently arrested and confessed to using the utensils to unleash his anger.
And, finally, a hero tuk-tuk driver...
It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s a tuk-tuk driver
A quick-thinking tuk-tuk driver turned the tables on a pair of would-be bag snatchers in the wee hours of Monday morning, ending their shenanigans by using his own vehicle as a battering ram. The two villains, 18 and 19, made their move after the driver had picked up a pair of foreign fares at Phnom Penh International Airport. When the teens made their move, the female passenger resisted, giving our tuk-tuk hero the chance to turn his vehicle into the thugs and send them tumbling to the ground. Police have sent the duo to court. Kampuchea Thmey

I couldn't let this piece of sub-editorial splendour go through to the keeper. It's got it all ~ puns, alitteration and violence...
Meta or physical? Punks in pagoda choose latter
Police said two gangsters were injured on Saturday after they and three other punks exchanged punches, puncturing the peace of a Pursat pagoda. The five hooligans were participating in a ceremony at the pagoda when they got caught up in an argument that turned ugly. Police finally stopped the brawl, sending the two wounded wrongdoers to the hospital and arresting the others. Koh Santepheap
A powerful lesson in pubic order?
Police give red light to district’s sex workers
Ten female sex workers in Phnom Penh’s Por Senchey district were arrested in a Saturday night round-up and warned against flaunting their wares in public places. Police said the women, who would routinely stand in parks and by public roads at night looking for customers, were arrested and made to solemnly swear not to publicly peddle their charms anymore. After what police professed to be a powerful lesson in public order, the women were released. Kampuchea Thmey

Merry Excema from dropping a blotter...
Case of mistaken identity leads to ambush beating
Police are searching for three men who realised too late they were beating up the wrong person on Saturday. Pursat’s Krakor district police said that the suspects ambushed the victim from behind and beat him until he was seriously injured before noticing they had confused him with someone with whom they had bad blood. After realising their mistake, they fled the scene before police arrived. Rasmey Kampuchea
Man angers vendors after bottle-smashing
A man, about 30 years of age, was arrested in Phnom Penh’s Chamkarmon district after making a mess of the street vendors’ wares on Saturday. Vendors said they first noticed the Englishman because he was speaking to himself, and they became seriously annoyed when he proceeded to smash several drinking glasses and a bottle of wine on display. The angry vendors notified police, who arrested the man and questioned him before handing him off to the commune police office that deals with foreigners. Koh Santepheap
Chitty-chitty bang bang in the middle of street
A 27-year-old man with twitchy fingers was arrested in Takeo province’s Bati district on Saturday for drunkenly firing a gun into the air. Police said that after drinking with his friend, the man stumbled onto the street and greeted the neighbourhood with a volley of shots. Residents and the man’s friend were too afraid to stop him, but soon police patrolling the area arrested him and sent him to court. Kampuchea Thmey
Twin thieves return to the scene 10 times
Two teenagers in Kandal’s Takhmao town were sent to court on Saturday after drinking too deeply from the fount of one homeowner’s unwitting generosity. Police said they caught the twin troublemakers attempting to break in to the house in question and arrested them. When police questioned them, they admitted to having stolen from the house 10 times before, taking property, including a motorcycle. Rasmey kampuchea
Necklace grab is foiled when police give chase
Police said several witnesses saw two men on a moto snatch a woman’s necklace while she was crossing the street on Friday in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district, causing her to fall down in the path of several other motos, which hit her. While onlookers gave chase, police were the ones to arrest the thieves. The woman was sent to hospital. Koh Santepheap

Ahh... alliteration
Gaggle of gangsters grabbed during brawl
West Side Story-style gang fights, usually without the dancing, are a Blotter staple. Two Battambang crews kept up that tradition on Sunday when they attacked each other with knives, rocks and bare fists in a street-side brawl. Witnesses said the men seemed blissfully unaware that bystanders were calling police, though when Phnom Penh’s finiest finally arrived, the blood-stained gangsters fled in all directions. Police made 20 arrests. Kampuchea thmey
Keep the home fires burning...
Man scores trifecta of dysfunction, is arrested
A tendency towards both alcoholism and arson can be a deadly combination. Mix that with a history of domestic abuse and you are likely to have a very serious situation. A 29-year-old was arrested in Kandal’s Sa’ang district on Monday after coming home drunk, beating his wife and kids, and then setting fire to the home after discovering no food had been left for him. The home was reduced to ashes and the man later told police he was angry at his wife for neglecting their kids in favour of gambling. Kampuchea Thmey
Everybody was kung fu fighting...
Gangs and dancefloors – you know the drill
Two rival gangs laid into each other in Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district on Sunday, police said. Local residents said the two groups had a history of ill-will, so when members from each spotted their rivals at a dance club, things were clearly headed for trouble. The two gangs immediately began beating each other, and one group’s members set fire to a motorcycle of their enemies for good measure. Police intervened and managed to arrest five of the ruffians, while the rest escaped. Koh Santepheap
Going dancing? Don't forget your boxing gloves...
Body language leads to violent body contact
An unwelcome glance started a dangerous dance in a Veal Veng district pub in Pursat province on Friday. Police said the victim was drinking with friends, when a glance at another party of three prompted an argument, after which the other party left. They returned shortly thereafter armed with sticks and cleavers, attacking the 23-year-old. The three fled, but police have reportedly identified the attackers and are seeking their arrest. Nokorwat
All this beer will be the urination of me...
Urinating police officer finds self in hot water
Public urination prompted a dangerous altercation in Phnom Penh’s Chamkarmon district Thursday. According to police, a security guard tried to intervene after a drunken cop started urinating on the wall inside a restaurant, asking the 30-year-old to try the bathroom instead. The policeman, none too pleased, fired his gun into the air twice, and was promptly picked up by local authorities. The man reportedly confessed, saying he was too drunk to control himself. Nokorwat

Hmm... can't find it on the front page, but I did a search and found this old piece of perfectly purple prosaic alliteration...
Pailin puppy pincher pounced on by police
The dog days are just beginning for an alleged thief, 21, arrested for pilfering puppies in Pailin province’s Sala Krao district on Friday. According to police, the newly broke suspect stole three dogs,10 chickens and other property from his stepmother to fuel his drug habit. When she asked where her things had gone, the suspect allegedly flew into a rage, punching her several times in the face. Police soon arrested the man, who reportedly confessed to the crimes.
