He added that police are now seeking to determine which official rented the police car to the two suspects so that they can be disciplined.

Sihanoukville police on Tuesday held two Chinese nationals Huang Cheng, 32, and Chen Lu, 26, for driving a pickup with a “police number plate”. Social media users criticised the department for letting them drive the vehicle.

The Interior Ministry’s Department of Fire, Police and Rescue downplayed the accusation, saying the men were from Golden Eagle, a private company which signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the ministry to install security systems at factories across the Kingdom to prevent fire, according to Neth Vatha, head of the police department.

He explained that the men were on a trip with a police officer to check an installed fire prevention system on Tuesday.

While the officer was busy, he added, the car was left at the Golden Eagle office and one of the suspects drove it to a restaurant for lunch.

“Incidentally, as the Chinese did not have a meal to eat, he drove the car to have lunch and when traffic police saw that, they stopped them,” Vatha said.

He said the car was already brought back at the precinct and the men were lectured not to repeat the mistake.
“There was no crime,” Vantha continued.
