A car mechanic was arrested in the capital’s Sen Sok district for pulling double duty as a robber after he stole a client’s phone at screwdriver point.
On Thursday, the victim was talking on the phone while the repairman was at her home checking her car.

After a complaint was filed, the cops tracked the man down yesterday and sent him to court.
