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.

TÂY NINH — A Vietnamese woman has been arrested for smuggling 3,000 methamphetamine pills from Cambodia into Viet Nam, hidden inside a teddy bear.

She was trying to bring in the drugs through the southwestern border province of Tây Ninh on Thursday, according to the Mộc Bài International Border Gate’s Guards.

Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Bích, 25, from the southern province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, was caught by the border guards and local anti-drug and crime special forces in Thuận Tây village, Lợi Thuận commune, Bến Cầu district.

Bích, who works as a receptionist for a hotel in Cambodia’s Bavet city near the border with Việt Nam, was later found carrying a teddy bear stuffed with more than 3,000 pills.

Bích said she went to Phnom Penh on Wednesday to receive the drugs from two Cambodians and was on the way to Tây Ninh’s Gò Dầu district to deliver them.

The Mộc Bài International Border Gate’s Border Guards are coordinating with Cambodian police to further investigate the case. — VNS
