Foreigners Arrested - No Work Permits
Pretty sure they didn't have work permits.
Eight Charged With Trafficking Meth From Church
"Nine people—eight Nigerian men and a Cambodian woman—were on Monday charged with drug trafficking for allegedly distributing crystal methamphetamine out of a church in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district, officials said.
The nine were arrested Thursday at separate locations in Meanchey and Chamkar Mon districts in a sting by undercover anti-drug police, who arranged to buy 200 grams of methamphetamine from them, said Yin Panharith, acting chief of an Interior Ministry anti-drug bureau.
“They took the drugs from a church near Wat Sansamkosal in Meanchey district’s Boeng Tompun commune any time someone ordered the drugs,” he said, adding that police seized a total of 802.44 grams of the narcotic during the operation.
Mr. Panharith claimed the ringleader of the trafficking operation —who was not apprehended—was the deputy head of the church, whose name he could not provide.
“The ringleader went to Burma to get more drugs a day before the arrests,” he said."

Used to see these guys walking to church each Sunday wearing their Sunday best and carrying their Bibles.
Hope it wasn't Stroppy's church.

Re: Foreigners Arrested - No Work Permits
I've been held up in traffic a few times (out the front of your place UT) as these guys get their gangsta on in the neighbourhood, and I've wondered each time if that 'church' was a front for a drug ring.Username Taken wrote:Hope it wasn't Stroppy's church.
I recognise at least three of these guys as trying standover tactics on the staff in one of the local minimarts. Good to see them out of the area, hope the rest of the 'church' is under scrutiny.

Re: Foreigners Arrested - No Work Permits
That's interesting, there was a raid recently on a church being run by Nigerians in Bangkok that was also used as a front for drug dealing, it was posted I think in the thai section. Sounds like either it's part of the same bigger operation or the Nigerian gangs have found a new approach. Obviously not working.
That guy in the back with the NEW black shirt - I'm sure he was pictured in another drugs bust reported in the last few days, either on here or the other site.
