Scavenger Finds AK Gun and 29 Bullets in Village Dump

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia News: Village police reported that at 8 am on June 26, 2019, a scavenger had found an AK gun with 29 bullets in a village rubbish dump in Malai district, Banteay Meanchey province.

Before the incident, the cops received information from Mrs. Ath Thoeun, a new village chief, that a 39-year-old man, Chhin Sovic, working as a rubbish scavenger and recycler at Tuol Tao village, had spotted a gun. He reported his find immediately and police came to search the area and also found 29 bullets.

Police have confiscated the weapon and the ammunition and are conducting investigations into how they could have got there in the first place.A dump seems a stupid place to hide illegal arms, simply because there are so many people constantly going through any heap of rubbish looking for finds.
