Japanese Arrested with a Gun, Bullets, and Drugs

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.

The arresting cop wore his “Thank fuck it’s Friday” and the judge wore his “C U Next Tuesday” T-shirt and bubba will wear his “We’ll be making love on Saturday” t-shirt. (Sorry, old Craig “BLM” David lyrics)
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.

I don't think Thursday's are his favorite either.

I must be blind. I don't see the gun. I do see what looks similar to a wooden sword crudely made out of a 2"x4" (I'm American, sorry), handle, edge and all.
Still here, in country...

Surprised that this didn’t make the Japanese news. After all that coverage about the Japanese man who killed a driver and took his car.

Maybe the virus and the lockdown has kept the reporters at home? Or maybe the $3000, insurance, and official test letter needed just to file a report from Cambodia?
