He keeps his meth pipe in a beer stubby. Classy.

I know they call it crystal meth but those look like some rather large crystal chunks. Is that the norm?

You dry it out flat and bust it up with a hammer or something, so it depends on how much effort you put in as to how small the chunks are.

The accused had been under surveillance by police for some time, and was eventually arrested while attempting to sell a bag of meth to an undercover Cambodian police officer in Sihanoukville.

Australian Dino Rossetto arrested in Cambodian drug sting
- Police provincial drug officer Chum Sokunthy said Mr Rossetto, 50, from Orange, NSW, faces charges relating to offering to sell a $US70 ($87) package of drugs to an undercover officer.
Police seized further 40 grams of the drug and scales from Mr Rossetto's room. Police also allege he was an active distributor of crystal methamphetamine in nightclubs and beaches. He also tested positive for drugs, they said.

Mr Rossetto was charged with two drug trafficking offences when he appeared in court on Wednesday and was remanded in custody.

Anti-drug bureau chief Major Sok Thach told Fairfax Media Mr Rossetto had been under surveillance for two weeks.
"Sometimes we saw him just sitting alone and smiling. He is drug addicted. He also used the drug and he sold it as well," he said.

Cambodia media said military officers would investigate his activities further before the case was brought to court. A trial is scheduled for later in the year.
