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.

More here:
San Sothy, deputy director of the Interior Ministry’s Anti-Drug Department, said a few policemen went undercover to buy drugs from the three and arrested them when they tried to sell them the methamphetamine.

“They were caught red-handed. They imported the drugs from Laos,” Sothy said, adding that the operation was carried out in collaboration with the provincial court.

Provincial Prosecutor Chea Pich, said the suspects were sent to court where the investigating judge questioned them individually. If found guilty, the accused will be held under pre-trial detention, he said.

“Six persons were involved with the crime, but the police only managed to arrest three. Their accomplices fled the scene,” Pich said, adding that police have mounted a search for them.
