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.

Actually, she probably wouldn't have been caught in Vietnam.

The Cambodian authorities were tipped off by the Australian Federal Police.

I don't think the AFP tip off the cops in countries that have the death penalty for drugs anymore. The AFP decision to tip off the Indonesian police about the Bali 9 rather than arrest them when they arrived in Australia wasn't too popular.

If she'd been flying from Vietnam to Australia with the drugs, they probably would have just arrested her in Australia

Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.

An Australian woman Ve Thi Tran, a 37-year-old Australian national of Vietnamese heritage, has been detained at Phnom Penh International Airport Cambodia with 1,814 grams of heroin allegedly hidden in her luggage.

7th January 2018
An Australian woman has been detained in Cambodia, reportedly after being caught at the airport with drugs.

The woman was reportedly arrested at Phnom Penh International Airport with almost 2 kilograms of heroin allegedly stashed in her luggage.

Cambodia's General Department of Immigration named the woman as Ve Thi Tran, a 37-year-old Australian national of Vietnamese heritage.

It said on its official Facebook page that 1,814 grams of heroin were found embedded in the side of the woman's suitcase in several different packages.

Photos in the Facebook post show officials pulling bags of a substance out of the lining of the suitcase.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said it was aware of the woman, and was ready to offer her consular assistance.

The Australian Federal Police said it was working with Cambodian authorities on the matter.
