American and Finnish Nationals Amongst Several Foreigners Arrested in Huge Sihanoukville MDMA Drug Bust

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

MDMA is an amphetamine, which you'll know if you've taken it and can then dance all night. These kids were just making disco biscuits to sell on NYE, it's ludicrously expensive (I got quoted $25 a pill).

Well, she's not going to be needing her room for a while and it's high season, I was in there today clearing it out. Not the accoutrements of an international drug lord. I threw out the crisps but the four pieces of clothing she had, the hand tattoo gun and 700 Baht are in a bin bag.

I would've bought the crisps.
And did you try them before you chucked them out ? :popcorn: Never know.

Oi! Cheeky French cnut. BUT I was myself wondering a . what the girl was smiling about, and b. why wasn't she mentioned in the report. There is another pic of what looks like her (?) in a different dress posted after the OP. What's that all about? She was in both places when the two houses were busted?

I do know, as well as you, that girls are busted then coerced into making a deal with the cops to make some cash. They would have been very happy with that haul. $25 a pop? Bet it was weak as shit as well. I thought that most of the MDMA down there was home synthesized from natural barks etc. I took a look at it once, out of interest. Looked brown and horrible. People said it was of varying quality. As 2 people in Kampot may, or may not, have found out a while ago.

I shouldn't be surprised if those drugs are already appearing back on the street.

More video footage from the drug bust showing police making the girls empty their bags.

You can see one of the girls trying to hide a big bottle of pills behind a small purse, but her slight of hand is no match for Sihanoukville's competent authorities.

The one cop points so much that you'd think he's a Thai police officer.

There is a 52 year old Mikhail Grafman from Forest Hills, New York who's date of birth (at least the year and month), name, age and nationality match the American Mikhail Grafman arrested in Cambodia for drugs.
