Two journalists (pictured) from two unknown newspapers have been arrested by Phnom Penh's Sen Sok district police after they went to pick up $100 from a man near Sen Sok Market on Monday afternoon.

Thong Dara, editor of Nokor Santepheap (City of Peace) newspaper and Chum Bunheap, editor of Ponleu Sereipheap (Light of Freedom) were charged with fraud and extortion of money from an official of an electricity company from Sen Sok district.

Police said that the pair posed as officials from the government's Electricite Du Cambodge and tried to extort $200 from an employee of a private electricity company. However, the man only agreed to give $100. They were arrested when they went to pick up the money at an appointed location in Sen Sok district.
