Police shootout in Boeung Tompun this afternoon.

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.

Police shootout in Boeung Tompun this afternoon.

Post by StroppyChops »

Police chased (alleged) heroine dealers into the cul-de-sac of Street 17BT in Boeung Tompun this afternoon before opening fire with semi-automatic weapons.

This occurred out the front of my property and although I've seen the shot-out vehicle the actual facts are unverified other than police being involved in the shootout. As the only westerner I wasn't going to get close enough to support the police tea-money fund.

Neighbours state the dealers are known locally, and to be heroine dealers. Unsure whether there were any deaths, although the neighbours state at least one died, and were merrily taking videos of the inside of the vehicle. No doubt more accurate news will hit Facebook shortly.

The Khmer uncle who lives in the same compound has strongly suggested I leave for the night, presumably so I don't get the knock on the door from speculative cops.

It's never dull.
