Weapons search reveals gang of fake monks
18 November 2017
Kampong Cham - A vehicle stop and search for explosives and weapons was conducted by Cheung Prey district police, in cooperation with the provincial traffic police force in Chey Chey district, Kampong Cham on National Road No 6, on the morning of 15 November.
Around 10am, the police stopped a 1993 Camry sedan belonging to Rin Kao, a 28-year-old male living in Khnach Chorng, Wat Ong Nam, Banteay Meas, Kampot. Much to their surprise, when the cops searched the car they found no explosives or weapons, but the trunk of the car contained five monk outfits.
Five male passengers from Kampot, aged from 22 to 33 years, were in the vehicle when it was searched by the police, who then put 2 and 2 together and realised that they had come across a gang of fake monks from Kampot province.
The gang of fakers were detained by the police and taken for further questioning.

Can you see the Samsung phone in the photo. There's always one used as evidence.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yeah, and they modified it with that milk-trigger to make it automatic, bastards.

Re: Weapons search reveals gang of fake monks
I think so. They prey on the local belief that if you give money to monks, you get merit. So the scammers dress as monks and ask for money for Buddhist works or whatever.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:24 pmWould it be donations.......................................frank lee bent wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:21 pm what is the object of their fakery? how do they benefit?
Afterwards, its up for discussion if its more merit-worthy to give money to poor (but unscrupulous) human beings so they can eat, rather than buying more gold leaf for the local pagoda.
This subject is even more delicate than politics IMO.
