Four alleged drug traffickers arrested in Cambodia
Cambodia’s anti-drug police arrested four local men for allegedly trafficking and possessing illicit drugs, seizing more than 10 kg of narcotics, the country’s Anti-Drug Department said on Thursday.
The suspects, aged between 25 and 35 years old, during raids on three different locations in Siem Reap City, after a thorough probe for several months were captured on Tuesday.
“A total of 10.69 kg of crystal methamphetamine and methamphetamine tablets were seized from the suspects’ possession during the crackdowns,” the ADP said.
The Southeast Asian country has no death sentence for a drug trafficker, but under its law, someone found guilty of trafficking more than 80 grams of drugs could be jailed for life.
According to the ADP, Cambodia nabbed 19,940 drug-related suspects, including 499 foreigners, in 2023, confiscating a total of 2.97 tons of narcotics.
Most of the seized drugs were ketamine, crystal methamphetamine, methamphetamine tablets, heroin, ecstasy, and cocaine.
