A bank robbery at the Phnom Penh International Airport took place at 9:30PM on 22 September 2009. The victim of the robbery was Sothavy, a 20-year-old female employee of the Cambodia Asia Bank, located inside the Phnom Penh International Airport. Local news report indicated that the robber took off with $38,471. 35-year-old Chao Ratana was the identified robber, he is a male employee of the bank also.
News report indicated that, prior to the robbery, the victim was sitting and working at her currency exchange station when the robber pointed a knife to threaten her. The robber then tied her hands and legs with electrical cord, and he also taped her mouth with scotch tape so that she would not yell.
The robber told her frankly that: “I beg your pardon, my niece, don’t yell, I will not do anything to you, I only take the money because I am in dire situation.” After tying up the female employee, the robber proceeded to hastily search for money in the bank office and he walked out of the bank to safely flee in his car. The robbery took place without the cops being alerted because it was conducted very quietly.
