25 June 2018
(Poipet) After getting a report on the [knife-wielding] incident, officers made the arrest the same day.
“After the arrest, authorities seized 36 marijuana plants which Saron planted illegally in his farm,” said Keo Bora, Prey Kob station police chief.

The suspect was subsequently sent to Poipet Town Police Station where, according to Police Chief Thin Sindet, he admitted planting the marijuana for personal consumption, not for commercial purposes.
“The marijuana plant has been categorised as a prohibited and addictive plant, so planting and consuming it is considered a crime and the suspect will be sent to Banteay Meanchey Provincial Court for further procedures,” Sindet said.

Previously sold openly at many of the Kingdom’s markets, marijuana has been the subject of several crackdowns by police.

In April, a 50-year-old British fugitive was arrested on the outskirts of the capital for having 25 marijuana plants in buckets in his house.

That story rings a bell. :stir:

He said free the weed, not 'Free Khean Saron' :thumb:
