Military officer arrested for wood scam.
Maj. Sopheak said that according to the plaintiffs, on July 9, the suspect met with villagers in Dan Run village in Sotre Nikum district’s Dan Run commune and introduced himself as a colonel with the military division 42’s regiment 15 based in Preah Vihear.
He told the villagers his military unit had seized 1,000 cubic meters of wood from loggers and wanted to distribute 20 cubic meters to each family. But in exchange for the wood, his unit required 200,000 riel from each family.
He said that at that time, two villagers paid him 200,000 riel each. But after getting the money, Col. Saroun escaped before giving them any wood.
On Thursday, Col. Saroun went to meet the villagers again and was arrested by district police in accordance with the villagers’ complaint.
