Tourist robbed in Bagan while trying to catch sunset

Police say two guys on a motorbike robbed a Swedish national in Bagan as he attempted to catch the sunset.

“They robbed his camera and 70,000 kyats [about $60],” a tourist police officer told 7Day News Journal.

According to the article, this was the first robbery of 2016 at Bagan, and in 2015, there were no cases at all.
