Sunburnt Scottish man arrested in Cambodia after living on streets for a year

A  man has been arrested by police in Cambodia after allegedly living in the south east Asian country illegally for a year.

Paul Granville, 65, was picked up by police lying on the pavement in the country's northwestern resort town of Siem Reap on March 21.

The Daily Record reports that Mr Granville arrived in Cambodia in March last year at Phnom Penh International Airport before travelling to Siem Reap where he lost his passport.

After running out of money for food or a place to say, the Scot is believed to have been sleeping on the streets ever since.
