A rash of armed robberies struck multiple businesses in Phnom Penh, Kandal, Pursat and Battambang on Friday and Saturday, resulting in one death and four arrests so far, police said.

Lieutenant General Kang Sokhorn, the deputy chief of the General Commissariat of National Police, said that his forces and the military police are now hunting for the remaining suspects. Sokhorn would not comment on whether the crimes were related as the investigations were ongoing.

“Our police have already identified the names of the armed robbers in those groups,” he said. “We have arrested some of them already and seized weapons and bullets … also some of their stolen money and jewellery.”
