Cambodia News, Prey Veng Province: On August 6, 2020, there was a crackdown on car smuggling in Prey Veng under the direction of Dr. Kun Nhim, General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia, and under the direct command of the Director of the Department of Crime Prevention and Suppression.

Area 6 Mobile Customs Police Force, in cooperation with military police officers across the country, launched an operation to crack down on two smuggled vehicles from Vietnam through the Trapeang Phlong International Post Corridor into Cambodia.

Two vehicles which were smuggled into Cambodia without paying customs duty were seized at Po village in Prey Veng province: a 2019 Chevrolet and a Lexus GS 300 . The owner of the cars, Mao Vannak, alias Sokea, has been smuggling duty-free cars in the past, often using deceptive tricks. He hires a skilled driver to drive at speeds of 150 to 160 kilometers per hour on dark nights, even under extreme rainy weather conditions, without caring about the danger to other road users.

The two vehicles were taken by professional forces to be stored at the mobile customs location in Ponhea Krek, Tbong Khmum province to record the customs violations according to procedures.
