19 Fake monks arrested and stripped in Siem Reap
10 January 2018
- Siem Reap provincial police yesterday arrested nineteen fake monks after complaints from the local religious leaders that a gang of men were impersonating monks to collect alms in markets and public areas in the province. The gang had been in operation for over a month before the police crackdown.
According to police, during the day the fake monks were collecting money, while at night they would stay in guesthouses [places of debauchery] and two of the gang were taking drugs.
The impersonators were stripped of their monks' robes and detained by the police for questioning.
