The knives were seized and the suspects were detained for further rehabilitation, before signing a letter of repentance, promising not to commit their crime . The two boys also had their heads shaved before they were released and allowed to go back home with their parents.

Crossing swords is a serious offense.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Maybe they're antique dealers ready to swap collection items ?
Would two guys holding a fork each would be arrested ? i've been told it can be quite harmfull when used a certain way

It seems Khmer police has now reached the Minority Report's level, only without the technology
