Frenchman MAXIME COLAS Busted Receiving Package Containing .4 Kilos of MDMA From Phnom Phnom Post Office

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.

Funny I get the exact same feeling about people who use heavy drugs.

Looking at the package it seems to have arrived in, what a stupid game plan.

There was nothing in that package except drugs, so I'd be shocked if that shipping method works too often.

I thought people usually shipped normal looking items, and then hid drugs in it wherever they could, but that looks like one of those flat rate international express shipping envelopes that cost about $50-$100 stuffed full of nothing but MDMA/ecstasy pills.

I see what you mean. If he mailed it to himself like that then what a stupid idiot.
If someone else sent the package to him in that state t's almost like they wanted to dob him in

I'd just like to note that 400g is 0.4kg, not 4kg.

I know someone who once had a few Es and some 2CBs sent to them, sandwiched between a couple of pieces of cardboard and taped up and posted in a regular envelope. The sharp edges of the tape shredded the envelope apart, but Australia Post thoughtfully put some rubber bands around it to ensure the item arrived intact.

I have a lot of items sent to Cambodia, usually numerous packages in one big box, and each and every package invariably has been opened and resealed.

Registered post items above a certain weight has the customs guys poking around in them. But I receive loads of smaller packages - maybe up to 2kg which are very, very rarely opened.

This was one of those very thin, lightweight airmail envelopes, and the corners of the tape were pointy. It wasn't a mail interception/check, it was just unfortunate (with a lucky ending at least). I think it even had a sticker apologising that the item was damaged in transit. Hilarious really.
