Phnom Penh Police has come under increasing criticism after spates of robberies in recent months have killed many business owners.
In recent weeks, a number of money exchange and jewelry shops in Phnom Penh have been brutally robbed and owners violently killed but perpetrator have never been identified and arrested.
The police has now deployed its forces around the city in great numbers with the City's commissioner, Gen. Touch Naroth (pictured), warning his commanders that they face the sack if they have been found to be not taking sufficient measures to curb these new spates of robberies.
The warnings and the strong measures came after owners of a jewelry shop in Prek Leap and a money exchange shop in Phsar Kandal were violently robbed and brutally killed.
With police putting strong security measures in place, the robbers seem to have changed their strategies by turning to robber motorbikes on the streets, robbing wallets from people walking down the streets and committing home robberies instead.
