POIPET - 13 November 2017 - A police raid on two Virak Buntham buses revealed that 400 kilograms of wildlife were on board the buses bound for Phnom Penh. When the buses were searched by military police and forestry administration officers, they found a collection of turtles, cobras, snakes, sea turtles, and whistling ducks.

The cops wouldn't have caught them if it weren't for those whistling ducks. Noisy fuckers.
